For the third year, Atlanta Center for Photography is proud to host our Block Party + Open Exhibition on May 2nd from 12-5 PM. In an effort to highlight the past, present, and future vibrancy of our home on Edgewood Avenue, this event is a single day of art, food, music, and all-ages activities hosted by the Atlanta Center for Photography in collaboration with local businesses and arts organizations. Our partnership is both a celebration of our rich community and a disruption of the cycle of speculation and displacement that challenges its sustainability.
