Become a Sponsor For sponsorship inquires, email sponsorship@artsxchange.org . In 1984, a group of determined artists and activists came together to open the Arts Exchange located in Grant Park. They had been charged by the vision of Mayor Maynard Jackson who believed that art was important to the growth of Atlanta. He supported the Neighborhood Arts Center which later burned down. Several of these artists carried this spirit forward gathering in various spaces to create. Ebon Dooley, our founder, took on the challenge to find a place that would welcome everyone. This sense of purpose and self-empowerment is the foundation of the ArtsXchange. For over 40 years, we have nurtured artists who in turn shared with us through engaging performances, exhibits, workshops, and classes. We have also been a safe place for those organizing and educating others about social injustices and the need for systemic change. Five years ago, we made the intentional choice to move to the city of East Point. It is here that we are planting deep roots for the next 40 years. We are asking ourselves, “What is the artist’s role in community development? How can we creatively promote dialogue around real issues impacting the quality of life around us?” These are big questions, but we have started to plant the seeds, whether by encouraging our neighbors to come learn about and plant their own garden; becoming a USDA-certified People’s Garden, or launching a series of Community Conversations around a variety of pressing topics. We are building important partnerships that move across Metro Atlanta. And we need your support!

This makes their ability to tell stories, design visuals, and forge meaningful connections more important than ever. At the ArtsXchange, our creative career courses in music, writing, and visual design , offered in the spring, summer, and fall , provide young people with more than just activities to fill their time after school or during breaks; they equip them with essential life skills. Through hands-on workshops led by professional artists, students aged 11 to 18 learn how to write and record original songs, design zines and sneakers, create photo essays, and express their ideas on stage, on the page, and on screen. They practice collaboration, public speaking, and problem-solving while building friendships and discovering new facets of themselves in a supportive, community-centered environment. Parents can feel confident knowing that these programs are grounded in research on youth arts engagement and well-being. High-quality arts programs help young people reduce stress, build confidence, and envision real futures in creative industries that employ more than 5 million workers nationwide. The ArtsXchange is dedicated to making these opportunities accessible to as many young creatives as possible, offering limited need-based scholarships for all one-week camps, one story, one song, and one design at a time.

Threads of a Living Legacy Threads of a Living Legacy The Art of Marquetta Bell-Johnson Sept 12, 2026 - Oct 24, 2026 Threads of a Living Legacy: The Art of Marquetta Johnson is a tribute exhibition honoring the life and work of Atlanta artist and educator Marquetta Johnson (1956- 2025). The exhibition brings together a broad collection of quilts and textile works from different periods of her career, reflecting both the growth of her artistic practice and the impact she had on Atlanta’s creative community and beyond. _______________ EVENTS Threads of a Living Legacy - Opening Reception Sat. Sept 12, 2026, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM The ArtsXchange, 2148 Newnan St, East Point, GA 30344, USA FREE | Open to the public RSVP _______________ The tribute exhibition brings together quilts and textile works spanning Johnson’s career, offering an intimate look at an artist whose practice grew from family tradition into a distinctive language of color, texture, pattern, and layered materials. A vital force in Atlanta’s arts ecosystem, Johnson’s reach extended from the Neighborhood Arts Center to the High Museum of Art — where her work lives in the permanent collection — as well as the Alliance Theatre, Kennedy Center/VSA Arts, and the National AIDS Memorial Quilt. After surviving a shooting that left her paralyzed from the waist down, Johnson remained fiercely dedicated to youth arts education, community collaboration, and adaptive art-making. The exhibition extends outside of the galley to include Intersectionality, an illuminated wall sculpture Johnson co-created at ArtsXchange with artist Jeff Mather; a “touch gallery” for a sensory experience; and a video montage of archived reflections from collaborators, family, and peers. Johnson also worked closely with the ArtsXchange over the years, from teaching youth arts classes to being one of the five women featured in Cover Me , a stunning 2024 exhibition of quilters and textile artists.
