Join Makiko Maekawa for a fun and creative community art event designed especially for kids! Kids will be working together to create a large and beautiful weaving art piece that will be on display in Atlanta Contemporary’s next Exhibition, opening on October 24th. The weaving project invites young artists to explore their creativity and work together to create a vibrant, collaborative piece of art—a beautiful tapestry designed to foster and highlight how community togetherness can create something beautiful.
This is a drop-in event. Doors open at 12 pm and visitors may begin the project any time until 2 pm.
Atlanta Contemporary presents a public opening celebration of its 2026 Winter/Spring exhibition cycle that explores storytelling, materiality, identity, and embodied experience across a wide range of contemporary art practices.
Join us for a family-friendly art workshop as part of the Contemporary Kids program, where kids of all ages can explore their creativity and engage with the themes of contemporary art!
A Cross Pollination Iron Art Event | by Allen Peterson and Friends
Ticketed
We kick off the new year with a performance art event with Allen Peterson and Friends in which crews of sculptors melt scrap iron and pour it into reusable molds to form bird-sized honeybee forms. Like puppets, these bees “fly” through the night in formations inspired by the dance-based language honeybees use to communicate and cooperate inside the hive.
