The Jewel of the South shines with a kaleidoscope of cultural offerings from the Woodruff Arts Center -- home of the High Museum of Art, Symphony Hall and Alliance Theater – to a nearly endless array of metro area museums, galleries, clubs and alternative performance venues serving local, regional and international fare. The city’s ongoing Art on the Beltline program puts sculpture and murals outside where they can be seen by the public. The National Black Arts Festival celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2018. The Decatur Book Festival is the largest independent book festival in the country. Music Midtown, the Atlanta Jazz Festival and SoundNOW are among a multitude of annual themed music festivals. From the rarefied grandeur of The Atlanta Opera and edgy movement performances of gloATL to the diminutive charms of Tiny Doors ATL and offbeat productions at The Bakery, Atlanta is the epicenter of static and performance art in the region.
