Initiatives
A collective coalition for Atlanta's creative workforce
United to support various initiatives and causes that benefit the community and industry at large.
Atlanta Association for the Arts brings together entertainers, music professionals, filmmakers, television professionals, broadcast professionals, creatives, arts executives, and the movers and shakers of this city.
We are the Voice of the Atlanta Entertainment & Creative Community, and our work is grounded in a single idea: harnessing the resources of the entertainment and creative community for the greater good.
That looks like advocacy at city hall and under the gold dome, arts education in classrooms, professional development for working creatives, and mentorship for the generation coming next.
How we work
Four commitments
01
Collective over individual
No single artist or executive can move policy alone. Together, our ask carries weight.
02
Access as a baseline
Opportunity in Atlanta's creative economy should not depend on who you already know.
03
Craft and business
We treat creative work as a profession — with contracts, health, pay and career paths.
04
Cross-discipline by design
Music, film, television, broadcast, fashion, visual and performing arts at the same table.
Add your voice to the coalition
Whether you work in music, film, television, broadcast, design, or arts administration — there is a seat for you at the table.
