History of the AHSAE

AHSAE is an exhibition evolved from the "High School Art Exhibit" in the early 1970's Atlanta Arts Festival (known by many locals as the Piedmont Park Arts Festival), a two week celebration in the center of town. The high school exhibit went through a few transitions including "Visual Vibes." In 1999 Cheryl Myrbo envisioned a broader scope for the growing exhibit, bringing in arts center and museum sponsors from all over the region during the next 18 years. Myrbo retired from the AHSAE in 2017 and Becky Raffalovich, Director, works to maintain high standards for the AHSAE.

Binders Art Supplies and Frames in 2025

Binders has been supporting the AHSAE for over two decades. After experiencing considerable hardship with the Buckhead store catching fire this fall, Howard Krinsky still came through for the AHSAE this year!
