WonderRoot Atlanta

A scruffy community arts center with a heart and plenty of indie eye candy. By day, they help needy kids and raise funds for cultural causes. By night, they host conceptual shows and basement concerts with dollar beers.

Spruill Gallery Atlanta

Up-and-coming jewelers, community art classes, and local design meet-ups that make you think. The gallery keeps limited hours, but the grassroots good vibes are worth the wait.

High Museum of Art Atlanta

Renzo Piano’s Midtown ode to art and light. The city’s largest exhibits — sourced from the Lourve to ancient China and beyond — are housed. The inspired gift shop and on-campus restaurant Table 1280 are sense swayers, too.
