Join us for a day of free admission and drop-in programming for adults of all ages! Whether you like to explore on your own, join a conversation, or create art, there is something for you. Come as you are and stay as long as you like.

New to using a sewing machine? Hesitant to cut into fabric without a pattern? This is the class for you!

Inspired by Amy Sherald’s thoughtful approach to image-making, this course explores how artists use composition, staging, objects, and space to construct meaningful visual narratives.

Through engaging demonstrations, observational exercises, and guided studio projects, you’ll build a strong foundation in the essential skills of drawing while exploring a variety of materials and techniques.

Enjoy Friday Jazz and Amy Sherald: American Sublime after hours with fewer crowds, and access to a cash bar from 5 to 9 p.m.

Don’t miss an evening of live jazz at the High every third Friday.

Discover tranquility and connection at Oasis, a mindfulness-centered experience held on the third Saturday of each month.

Discover what’s new at the High Museum of Art with Martin Puryear: Nexus.

Study Hall is a monthly work session that invites Atlanta artists to create, experiment, and connect inside the museum. The program offers a consistent, low barrier space for self-directed creative practice and peer exchange. Artists work at their own pace while enjoying a supportive environment that highlights the museum as an active cultural space.

Cyanotyping – a printing process in which objects are placed onto a photosensitive sheet of paper and exposed to UV light – has engaged many influential artists, including Anna Atkins and Meghann Riepenhoff. Join us to explore patterns and composition as you create cyanotype prints using items you bring from home, or draw from a selection of nature-related items we will provide. Watch your designs come to life in striking shades of blue and white, and leave with your very own print.
