A celebration of Atlanta’s visual art and culture.
Atlanta Art Week is a new initiative that celebrates the visual arts in one of the fastest-growing art hubs in the United States. Founded by Art Advisor Kendra Walker in 2022 with lead partner SUTTON, AAW aims to create a dynamic environment that brings together galleries, artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts to promote cultural exchange, education, economic development, and art appreciation. AAW aims to highlight contemporary art, provide opportunities for growth and recognition, and promote Atlanta nationally.
In its inaugural year, Atlanta Art Week attracted 2,000 ticket holders and featured participation from prominent institutions such as the High Museum of Art, Atlanta Contemporary, and the corporate art collections of the Coca-Cola Company and Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The inaugural event, which was held from September 29 until October 2 ,2022, featured 20+ galleries, institutions, artist projects, and cultural partners in the metro Atlanta area.
To ensure accessibility, foster community engagement and education, encourage curatorial experimentation, temporary gallery expansion, and provide a comprehensive experience during Atlanta Art Week. Atlanta Art Week does not have any external fair partners or affiliates.
