About

The story

Atlanta Contemporary is a non-profit, non-collecting institution located in the West Midtown district of Atlanta. It is dedicated to the creation, presentation, and advancement of contemporary art by emerging and established artists. Atlanta Contemporary presents multiple exhibitions per year featuring local and international artists, including commissioning new works. It pays particular attention to artists of note who have not had a significant exhibition in the Southeast. It organizes educational programs, as well as provides on-site, subsidized studio space to local artists through its Studio Artist Program.
