About
Building upon more than 50 years of experience, we showcase art that reflects the stories, history, and heartbeat of our community. We not only pass the power of art to the next generation through access and education, but we connect thousands of people, each one of them empowered to make this city stronger. This is the core of what we do.
Originally named the Memorial Arts Center, the Woodruff Arts Center was established in 1965 as a tribute to the 130 Atlanta arts patrons and crew who died at Orly Airfield in France while journeying home from a n arts tour in 1962. At the time, the plane’s passengers represented nearly all of Atlanta’s cultural leadership. Out of this tragedy, the concept of establishing a unified arts center emerged to realize the aspirations of those we lost: for Atlanta to be a premier destination for arts and culture.
The Woodruff Arts Center is home to three renowned artistic institutions: the Alliance Theatre , Atlanta Symphony Orchestra , and High Museum of Art . The Arts Center enriches the lives of more than one million patrons annually, including more than 200,000 students and teachers, making us the largest arts educator in Georgia.
With visual and performing arts as well as robust educational programming presented on a single campus, the Woodruff Arts Center brings together patrons of all ages, interest levels, and backgrounds.
