Woodruff Arts Center
Woodruff Arts Center
Atlanta - 1280 Peachtree Street NE - GA 30309
The Woodruff Arts Center, a cornerstone of Atlanta’s cultural landscape, has been transforming lives through the power of art for over 50 years. Established in 1968, originally as the Memorial Arts Center, the center was created as a tribute to 130 arts patrons and crew members who tragically lost their lives in a plane crash at Orly Airfield in France. The vision of these lost cultural leaders was to make Atlanta a hub for arts and culture, and from this vision, the Woodruff Arts Center was born.

Today, the Woodruff Arts Center stands as one of the most important cultural institutions in the Southeast, housing three world-class organizations: the Alliance Theatre, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and the High Museum of Art. Together, these institutions bring art to life for more than a million people each year, making it the largest arts educator in Georgia, reaching over 200,000 students and teachers annually. Through exhibitions, performances, and educational programs, the center fosters a deep connection between the arts and the community, enriching the lives of those who engage with it.

The center's commitment to accessibility is evident in its diverse array of programs that cater to all ages, backgrounds, and interests. It offers a space where people of all walks of life can experience, learn, and grow through the arts. Whether through visual arts exhibitions at the High Museum, groundbreaking performances at the Alliance Theatre, or symphonic music from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the Woodruff Arts Center strengthens Atlanta’s cultural fabric, making the city a place where art is celebrated, experienced, and shared.

All About Photo Presents ’ Street Photography At The End Of The 80s’ by Henk Kosche
Tucked away in a small cardboard box, a collection of 35mm negatives sat untouched for nearly four decades. For photographer Henk Kosche, these forgotten strips of film—once destined for the darkroom—became time capsules of a world on the brink of profound transformation. With analog processes fading into memory and digital archives multiplying, the box might have remained closed. But as Kosche puts it, “At some point, the past catches up with you.” Inside, he found photographic treasures that now form the heart of his latest exhibition: Street Photography at the End of the '80s.
