Atlanta Contemporary is one of the American South's leading contemporary arts complexes, originally founded in 1973 as the Nexus grassroots artist cooperative.
Today, the nonprofit, non-collection organization offers a permanent facility in Atlanta's West Midtown neighborhood, which is open to the public Tuesdays through Sundays during the afternoon hours. Works by more than 100 local, regional, and international artists are highlighted in 6-10 rotating exhibitions throughout the year, with a specific focus on new artists and artists who have not had significant exhibition showcases in the region in the past. Affordable artist studio space is offered as part of the center's Studio Artist Program, which fosters collaboration between local working artists.
More than 50 public educational programs are also presented each year, including children's programming and artist talks. Free parking is available for visitors at the Bankhead and Means Street parking lot, with free shuttle service available from Georgia Tech's city shuttle.
