Hosted on Atlanta Contemporary’s outdoor pavilion, Dance Canvas wraps up its summer residency with performances by their resident choreographers-Cecilia Rodriguez, Versaille Jones, and Hiroko Kelly. Join us for an evening of dance, community, and summer sensations.
Beginning at 7:00 pm, the performances will open with remarks from a member of Atlanta Contemporary, the host venue, and Dance Canvas Executive Artistic Director Angela Harris. Following this, each choreographer will present a unique composition created during the summer residency. The event is expected to last about 1.5 hours with a brief intermission. This event is outdoors and indoors.
Beverages
There will be a bartender and card-only bar on site to provide beverages. In addition, Atlanta Contemporary’s galleries will remain open late so that attendees may view the museum’s exhibitions both before the performances and during the brief intermission.
Parking
Parking is always free at Atlanta Contemporary. Please park in the Carriage Works lot at the intersection of Bankhead Ave and Means St.
