We’re so back! 🎭 The Out of Hand Impact Lab returns this December, and it’s entirely online, so you can join from anywhere! Learn how civic theater turns audiences into active participants, build real community partnerships, understand equity in the arts, and plan events side-by-side with local organizations and hosts. Out of Hand has been doing this for 25 years, and now its your turn! Ready to lock in? 🔒 Spots are limited, and early rates end November 10. Final registration closes November 24. Bringing your crew? Teams of three or more are eligible for special group rates. Tag the theater leader or community advocate you’d want in your cohort. ✨ Tap the link in our bio to register! 🔗 #AtlantaTheatre #artsnonprofit #AtlantaArts #artsandactivism #civictheater

‼️THIS MONDAY is one of your final chances to watch "Ancestral Reckoning" starring CT Mayo! As a part of our “We Hold These Truths” series, @ctmayo performs an original one-person play that addresses themes of American identity. After the performance, we'll gather around a shared meal (yes food is provided!) and facilitators will guide a candid conversation about the themes of the play. 💚 This is a true opportunity to support local art and find connection with neighbors. Tickets are FREE with an RSVP! Don’t wait to save your spot - register using the calendar link in bio! 📅 Date: Monday November 2, 2026 ⏰ Time: 6:00-8:00 PM 📍 Location: Turner Lynch Campus Center - 4484 Peachtree Road Northeast This Out of Hand Dinners event was created in partnership with @oglethorpeuniv #artsandactivism #AtlantaTheatre #FreeEvents #ArtInAtlanta

Ever wondered what's on the menu at an Out of Hand Dinners event? It's always the same three ingredients: 🍽️ A meal 🎭 A short play 💬 A conversation & connection This recipe has given us the opportunity to bring hundreds of Atlanta community members together to realize that we have more in common than we think. Interested in hosting one of these events yourself? Out of Hand provides the play and conversation starters, hosts provide the venue and meal. 🔗 Use the link in our bio submit your interest in hosting a Dinners! #CivicTheater #atlantaarts #AtlantaNonprofit #artsandactivism

📸 A little photo dump, a lot of meaningful moments, and 300 community members who showed up to be part of Out of Hand Dinners. 🇺🇸 This September, our We Hold These Truths series brought Atlanta neighbors together to experience art, engage in dialogue, and reflect on what’s possible for our city, state, and nation. We’re looking back at these gatherings with full hearts and so much gratitude for everyone who came out! A huge thank-you to the hosts who made these gatherings possible by sharing their spaces, resources, and meals! 🔹 The King Center 🔹 Fayette County Community Remembrance Coalition 🔹 Oglethorpe Presbyterian Church and the City of Brookhaven 🔹 Drew Charter School 🔹 Fulton County Arts and Culture & Northwest Library at Scotts Crossing 🔹 1906 Remembrance Exposition Week 🔹 The Carter Center 🔹 City of Decatur #atlantaarts #artsandactivism #artsnonprofit #AtlantaNonprofit #CivicTheater

Here are 5 ways we’re using art and activism to honor Indigenous People’s Day this year. 🧡 📚 Read books by Native authors and discover stories that deserve to be heard. 🎭 Experience live performances written by or starring Native artists. If you’re in Atlanta, the 5th Annual First Voices Festival is coming back to the city this November! Check out @firstvoicesfestival_atl for more info. 🏛️ Visit cultural centers to really take a step back into history and get a new perspective on Indigenous history and traditions. 🛍️ Shop Native-owned to support Indigenous artists and businesses. Right here in Little 5 Points is @turtleislandtradingatl – you may have known it as Coyote Trading in the past! 💬 It all starts with education. Gather your friends and peers to have honest conversations about how you can show up for Indigenous communities and put allyship into action. Together, let’s continue uplifting Indigenous stories, recognizing their resilience and advocating for a future rooted in respect, equity and understanding. Have a book, store, movie or museum recommendation? Drop it in the comments below! ⬇️ #indigenouspeoplesday #artsandactivism #artsnonprofit #atlantaarts
