Once you find it though, it's like an oasis. It's basically a compound where artists rent studio spaces. The entrance review is pretty severe. You have to submit a portfolio and go through an interview process. There is a large warehouse that they use for the performance space. I think it used to be a textile manufacturing plant. I went for a production of Woyzeck. I liked the way the actors were all visible in the large space. They also have a little bar inside the space, and, my favorite part was this strange swing hanging from the ceiling. I spent most of my time on that! I liked the space, and now that I can find it, I'll keep going.

Healium is a small gallery and space full of charming people, music, art, and meditation. I didn't…read moreknow what to expect when a friend of mine mentioned going here to chill and do some painting. Upon arriving the owner warmly welcomed us and then explained what Healium was about: an atmosphere free to play and rejuvenate, essentially. For the painting sessions, you have a choice to paint on a canvas, bottle, or tile plate. To paint it was $10 for the supplies, discount or free if you donated wine or art supplies. The painting sessions aren't lead by anything, there is a base inspiration for the day that you can draw from, but the idea is really to have fun, try not to be overly serious, and just painting. Let go, sort of experience. There are also guided meditations and food toward the back of Healium. I don't go participate in a lot of meditation sessions, so it was really interesting to finally experience a singing bowl for an extended period of time. The open gallery showcases local work from staff and other artists all with either a fantastical theme or meditative spirit in mind. Healium seems to focus a lot on exploration of the soul and letting that blossom. It's also a safe atmosphere to do so. We ended up painting and painting til the place closed up, and still painting. So much for serious? Or maybe just having too much fun.

I visited here to attend a singing bowl concert. The owners are warm, welcoming, wonderful people; the Healium Center reflects the care they've put into this place. I was given a tour; I viewed the private art gallery, owned by the Family. I saw beautiful, vividly colored art featured by local artists. They also host meditations lead by Donna, in an exquisite, eclectic black light room. They also have open jam sessions on Wednesday. I felt so at home, it's unreal. This is an 18+ venue, and they also serve food and drink on certain days as well. Please check this place out. Will I be back??? Of course I will. I absolutely love the Healium Center and you will too!

There are multiple vendors, a Balloon Museum, and an indoor space for events and art with a chill lounge with images that pay homage to the history of the Pullman Porters. I strongly recommend this experience and that you arrive around 12 noon because it gets crowded quickly. Admission is free but you pay each vendor as you purchase. This is an every Saturday evening beginning at 1 p.m. through 5 p.m. EST. There is both paid and on the street free street parking on Arizona. There is no specific Yelp profile for Pullman Yards or the Chef's Market so this is the only option I could find about the venue.

We did this tour as part of the month-long (during March) Phoenix Flies set of tours. Hence it was…read morefree, though I believe the Wren's Nest does offer tours year round for a fee. This place has a somewhat special significance for me. I first toured it (I think) as a child in the 1970s. However, its importance extends further back than that. My father lived in the area in the late 1920s and attended school about a block away. Even then, this was a library / museum. I'm fairly sure he would have seen this as a roughly 9-year old. It is rare to have a family connection like that to a specific museum... We arrived for the tour and were seated in one of the front rooms. The guide gave an overview of Joel Chandler Harris and the property. She also noted when it became a museum, etc. I will pause here and offer my opinions on the owner / author. I understand why Disney chose to withdraw 'Song of the South' from distribution. On the other hand, it makes me sad that what is being lost is (in some respects) the collective wisdom of the generations of Africans and slaves whose oral history this represents. Do I think that Disney's cartoon is as good way to represent this? No. Do I think that the oral histories had valuable lessons, amassed over countless generations, to communicate to the present day? Yes. The fundamental concepts of things like 'the tar baby' or 'the briar patch' are universal and timeless. To cancel the ideas via cancelling the stereotypes does (in my opinion) a disservice to the past generations whose stories these were. The lessons themselves are *so* instructive and applicable to everyday situations. It would have been fantastic had Joel Chandler Harris donated some % of his proceeds of the Uncle Remus Stories to some sort of foundation to assist descendants of those from whom he heard the stories. That he did not choose to, though, should not invalidate the wisdom of the stories themselves. It disrespects the original storytellers, IMO. Anyway... The house tour covers the entire ground floor. This was expanded from an original small farmhouse to include multiple bedrooms for Harris' expanding family. I also enjoyed some of the architectural details (especially some of the wallpaper) and the sculptures related to the stories. They even had some tobacco containers in the shape of hares and foxes. I think this is a highly worthwhile tour, whenever you opt to take it. They do have parking on site along the side of the house.'

However I must give this owner a rating and kudos on their care in preserving the family history and opening this venue to up to the community. This venue has an awesome backyard "amiptheater" / stage and sound booth which features many music artists throughout the year. Annually we are hosted and attend the Historic West End Neighborhood Concert. This year we heard Vivian Green! The backyard is lovely, offering "just enough" lighting for romantic table settings or grass picnics while enjoying music. Its treated for pests/insects and is like an oasis (very quiet)away from the busy main street of Ralph David Abernathy Blvd. The venue, now has ample parking with the use of a stripped and renovated lot next to the neighboring church. Look out for several Jazz series hosted during the late summer/fall. A billboard notice is usually posted on their grounds, facing the street with the announcements. This is an inclusive space, however some of the rocky paths make it hard to walk, or use a wheel chair. Note: Do not wear stilettos!

Everything is a bit more intimate and therefore the prices are a bit less than the Atlanta Symphony, but the availability depends on the event. Check the website for a listing of events. I attended a musical performance by The Vega String Quartet performing selections by Bach and Bartok. Tickets were $20 for non members, $15 for members, and free for all students. It was held in the larger Emerson Concert Hall of the Shwartz Center. It was completed in 2002 and is decorated with rich red carpets and classical Italian touches. The acoustics of the hall are excellent and every seat has a good view of the stage. Emory does a great job as a host. The student volunteers were polite while passing out the programs and were respectful to the artist and not disrupting the performance by preventing us to take our seats late. I also noticed the complementary cough drops by the entrance, a nice classy touch. Oh, and the bathrooms in this building make you believe your at a spa in Tuscany.

Parking is right out front for $5, but if you don't mind walking for less than 5 minutes, you can street park for free. Pay attention to the street signs so you won't be towed!! I attended the opening reception for "Tradition: A Tattooers Art Show." There was music playing, I'm not sure if it was a dj, or a playlist. Beer and wine were sold on the first floor towards the back. I like the layout of the gallery; there were at least 20 pieces on display. The prices were reasonable: $150-1000. That's pretty standard from what I've seen at local galleries. I really liked the ambiance; I was able to talk to other patrons and some of the artists. The show had pieces from Miya Bailey, Corey Davis, and Cake, but I also learned about new (to me) artists to follow. Overall, Facet is great a gallery to visit in Atlanta, I'll definitely be back.

Atlanta is so fortunate to have this incredible museum and shop! Wow I was blown away by the super…read morefriendly staff, the eclectic variety of amazing items and art in the gift shop and that is all in addition to the most amazing collection of curated awesomeness under one roof!! Shout to Bean at the front desk who immediately made me feel welcomed, informed and by the end an old friend. I don't want to spoil too much of the museum other than to say if you like roadside attractions, circus sideshow, taxidermy, pop and folk art, oddities and good old fashioned curiosities then you have found your Mecca. Take your time and look up high and way down low because the museum is packed with items! Take a second or third lap around the museum and you will continue to discover amazing things you missed the first couple of times. Inside the museum they have even more staff who are friendly and filled with knowledge of you have any questions about anything in the collection from the history of some of the artifacts down to how the museum acquired the pieces: if I lived locally it would be a blast to volunteer here as it's truly a one of a kind place. And to top it all off this museum costs only $10 admission!!! What a value in an age where everything is overpriced or you pay $25 for a roadside attraction that only takes 20 minutes to see the whole thing. I could've spent hours here and I have no doubt they wouldn't have minded at all. They even invited us back that evening for an art show and were offering free beer and wine and stamped our hands so we could enjoy the museum in the evening if we chose to attend. It was so nice of them. I would be doing a disservice if I failed to hype up the gift shop. Buy weird stuff said the sign outside and I certainly did!! Rainy Day Revival has been around I think since 2018 with a shop previously in L5P and about two years ago combined the store, their prop rental side of the business and added this incredible museum all under one roof. They sell so many interesting items but what I like the most is many items are sourced from local artists so you bring home cool items and support local artists at the same time and that's a huge win in my book. I'll be stopping by any time I'm visiting Atlanta and you should as well!!

My clients and I parked in the courthouse parking deck, which was about $6, I believe, and we took a short walk over. The bathrooms were clean, and we were basically the only ones in the museum besides workers on a weekday. We checked out the Flat Rock exhibit first. This is what drew me to the museum in the first place as I have been wanting to check out the actual Flat Rock Archives for a long time but just haven't had the chance to. This exhibit and all the exhibits on-site here were free. This was a fairly small exhibit, but like the others here, there was quite a bit of info to digest, so I recommend taking your time to read through everything or whatever catches your eye. After the Flat Rock exhibit, we checked out the Decorative Arts exhibit, showcasing some interesting old pieces in the museum's permanent collection. Then, we made our way to the Dekalb County history exhibit, showcasing the past 200 years of Dekalb County. This was probably my favorite exhibit on display, just because there was so much info on different places and people that as a transplant I hear a lot about but don't really know all the ins and outs about. It was all very interesting and informative. Lots of civil rights history and even info on places like Buford Highway and its history - a stretch I travel daily but didn't know much about. We ended the self-guided tour with a walk through the Avondale Estates exhibit, displaying the area's controversial history. I had heard some of the history of that area on the news a while back, but had no clue that it was similar to Forsyth County (and a lot of areas historically I'm sure) in that they basically did everything they could to keep non-whites out as long as they could. There was more history on the people of that area and how things have improved. Once again, there is a lot to digest, but definitely worth a walk through and some time spent. I would highly recommend this museum and all the current exhibits if you're a history buff or just want to learn more about the community, whether a transplant like me or visitor. I would definitely return to see other exhibits in the future, and apparently, this is a very popular wedding venue also, so there's that! Check it out if you haven't yet.
