Our Mission

At AHSAE, we are dedicated to promoting the arts and fostering creativity in our community. Our mission is to provide accessible cultural experiences that enrich and inspire.

Our History

Founded in the 1970's, the Atlanta High School art exhibit was called, "Visual Vibes" through the 1990's. Since 2003 AHSAE has been a cornerstone of the local arts scene. From humble beginnings we have grown into a thriving organization that provides a range of programs and events for high school artists and families of all backgrounds.

Our Team

Our team is made up of passionate and talented individuals who are committed to making a difference through the arts. From our board of directors to our volunteers, everyone at AHSAE is dedicated to creating a vibrant and inclusive arts community.

What's AHSAE all about? Some moments from 2024 along the way to give you an idea.

AHSAE isn't only about the exhibit in Dogwood, but everything that precedes the festival in order for that to happen. And outside the exhibit is activity all weekend, including the Art Throwdown (think of challenging art methods along the lines of a sport: scrimmages, challenges, times and winners). More photos and videos soon.

Why the 5K Run for the Arts?

The funds raised from this 5K directly benefit the Atlanta High School Art Exhibition (AHSAE). 

Greetings!

The Atlanta Dogwood Festival Run for the Arts 5K benefiting the Atlanta High School Arts Exhibition (AHSAE) was the first in a Run for the Arts Race Series that the Atlanta Dogwood Festival will host in 2024. Both 5Ks take place within Piedmont Park.
