Online events portal gets new name, but has same mission

Online events portal Art Beats Atlanta has changed its name to Art Currents Atlanta. The website will still offer the same options for arts organizations and artists throughout the Atlantaarea to showcase virtual events, information, and classes, and member organizations wishing to submit events will follow the same policies and procedures as on the original website.

The new website is now live at ArtCurrentsATL.com and can be found on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook at @artcurrentsatl.

Art Currents provides a space to share online arts programming during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a long-term goal to build Art Currents into a permanent resource for the greater Atlanta-area. The goal is also to inspire people to learn more about the arts community, and how they can become more engaged.

“The idea for Art Currents is rooted in a couple of beliefs,” says Rachel May, Producing Artistic Director of Synchronicity Theatre, and one of the founding members. “First, people need entertainment, amusement and engagement for their emotional well-being. Since this is our business, the arts community has the innate ability to serve this need. Second, having one place where people can find high-quality digital content will keep people engaged in the arts, and bring them back to us when restrictions are lifted.” Atlanta Intown is a proud media sponsor of Art Currents.
