The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center
The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center is dedicated to excellence, experimentation, and education in all forms of contemporary art.
The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, founded in 1973 as a grassroots artist’s cooperative known as Nexus, is a dynamic non-collecting arts institution that plays a vital role in Atlanta’s cultural landscape. We exhibit the work of consequential artists from local, regional, national, and international art scenes, creating in various media, and exploring a broad range of content. We pay particular attention to artists who have not had significant exhibitions in the Southeast. Our public programs include talks, lectures, panel discussions, workshops, screenings, tours, and events which foster appreciation and understanding in diverse audiences. In addition to our programming, ACAC supports working artists by providing subsidized studio space at reasonable rates, fostering a collaborative environment supportive of the creative process.
For 37 years, the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center has maintained a passionate and professional commitment to contemporary art. Our exhibitions and programs have received recognition from artists, peer organizations, private and public foundations, government agencies, and the critical community.
