“Atlanta is a city of constant change
and the Woodruff Arts Center is very
much a part of its ongoing evolution.
Looking ahead, it’s going to take
the energy, ideas and passion of our
most creative thinkers and fearless
innovators to continue our progress.
We have the opportunity to play
a major role in helping
Atlanta reach that potential –
and we’re all in!”
Doug Hertz
Chair, Woodruff Arts Center Board of Trustees
A HUB FOR
GROWTH &
INNOVATION
Great American cities share something
in common: a strong reputation as vibrant
epicenters for creativity and innovation.
A driving force for Atlanta’s continued growth,
the Woodruff Arts Center cultivates
a dynamic arts and cultural scene for
everyone, shaping our city’s future.

CREATIVE
EXPOSURE
VISIONARY FUTURE
Whether stage left, behind a canvas
or as a member of an ensemble, the
arts encourage people to discover
new and exciting possibilities. The
Woodruff Arts Center champions the
many ways that creativity positively
influences our city’s cultural landscape.
From the up-and-coming generation
of young visitors to long-time patrons,
the Woodruff Arts Center offers an
impactful experience for all.

“We have always known that the arts and cultural organizations contribute to the quality
of life, but the findings in the report show that the arts also significantly
impact the economic vitality of our City.”

woodruff arts center: Report on Philanthropy
Exposure to the arts can positively change
a person’s life. From decision-making
and inventiveness to cultural awareness,
the BENEFITS of arts exposure are
many. The Woodruff Arts Center is committed
to transforming lives through an inspiring and
culturally diverse collection of programs,
workshops, mentorships, and residencies
across our four arts partners.
From the High Museum’s guest lecture series
(Conversations with Contemporary Artists),
to providing artists a producing home for
undeveloped work (Alliance Theatre’s Reiser
Atlanta Artists Lab), and free concerts in a
local park (Atlanta Symphony’s Piedmont
Park: Performance on the Promenade),
the Woodruff Arts Center is dedicated
to bringing the best to Atlanta.
From a young age, the arts enable us to see what
we are and to imagine what we can become –
they foster the spark of possibility.

“The arts have always been a means
by which we can connect with
one another across race, gender,
class and cultural differences.
When we embrace our innate
desire to explore and create,
we open the door to
exciting new possibilities that
bring us closer together while
still celebrating our differences.”

THE HEART OF
DISCOVERY &
ENGAGEMENT
In the midst of Atlanta’s
vibrant arts scene, the
Woodruff Arts Center
serves as a captivating
destination point for the
more than 1.5 million
patrons who visit every year.
People come to our campus
in search of family enrichment,
enlightenment, and social
engagement. Here, they
connect with the arts
and to one another.

EXPERIENCES
The arts enlighten our minds and awaken our senses;
they kindle imagination and fulfill a fundamental
desire within our souls. When we share in the arts, we
empower one another and enrich our lives. The Woodruff
Arts Center and our four arts partners provide diverse
opportunities for individuals of all ages to engage with
the arts directly and personally. However one chooses to
participate, the impact created by a singular experience
holds the possibility to initiate influential dialogue,
create new relationships, and sometimes, even shift a life’s direction.

STEAM
A growing movement across our nation’s schools suggests the study of arts is as essential to innovation as science, technology,
engineering and math.
300k+
students take part in the woodruff arts center education programs
The Woodruff Arts Center brings a sense of
community through the sharing of collective
experiences. Children as young as 18 months
become our youngest patrons through programs
such as the Alliance’s Theatre For the Very
Young. Once in school, students take field
trips to the High or to the Symphony or are
one of the students in the more than 200
schools and community centers that Arts
for Learning reaches.
Adolescents deepen their engagement
through programs such as Atlanta Youth
Symphony Orchestra, in which 120 talented
young musicians are challenged and mentored
by ASO musicians. The campus-wide Wells
Fargo ArtsVibe Teen Program, impacts over
26,000 teens through poetry slams, music
lessons, acting classes, among many others.
At the Woodruff Arts Center, we aim
to inspire innovation in Atlanta’s youth;
the arts unlock their potential. They will
create and shape our future.
“...you want to
live in a city
where art
lives, you want
to live in
a city where
art works,
and you want
to live in a city
where art
is always
part of the
conversation.”
—Susan V. Booth
Artistic Director, Alliance TheatRE
*STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math)
integrates art to STEM, to help children observe, question,

at hospitals, and through dedicated
veterans’ service organizations.
In these venues, our artists deliver
performances of appreciation; render
artwork that depicts the freedoms our
armed forces defend; and contribute
something vital to the lives of our
military families.
Through the generosity of The Home
Depot and other supporters, we are
continuing to provide access to these
events and engage more veterans and
their families with artistic experiences
worthy of their service.
