If you're curious about the people making Atlanta a more creative, interesting, and joyful city, you're in the right place.

Welcome to ATL Arts Collective, powered by ArtsATL.

Every week, host and executive producer Kim Drobes gathers artists, journalists, musicians, writers, performers, and other fascinating humans for conversations about what's happening in Atlanta's creative community. Along the way, you'll discover new exhibitions, performances, concerts, restaurants, festivals, ideas, and the people making this city so special.

With original reporting from ArtsATL writers, interviews with artists and cultural leaders, and a different featured contributor each week, ATL Arts Collective is part arts magazine, part insider's guide, and part conversation among friends.

New episodes every Wednesday.
