| Since
its founding in 1968, the Arts Center has also successfully seeded and cultivated
a thriving arts community in Atlanta and in the greater region.The Woodruff
Arts Center has served as a catalyst for the growth of the arts throughout
the Southeast, spurring the establishment of new galleries, theater companies,
music groups, alternative arts spaces, music conferences, and film festivals.
The Arts Center is distinguished by its range and scope of programming, calibrated for a wide variety of audiences, from the first-time museum-goer to the classical musician to the film aficionado. These audiences increasingly reflect the diversity of the city in ethnicity, gender, age, and interests. While Atlanta has invested in the infrastructure to accommodate its emergence as a leader in such areas as technology, higher education, and sports, this expansion will enable Atlanta to rightfully claim its place among the top cities in the nation for the arts.
