A High 100
Over the weekend, The High Museum of Art Atlanta shut down pieces of Peachtree Street to celebrate its centennial anniversary with the local arts community and the city of Atlanta. Hundreds filled the streets to dance, indulge, and engage with organized activations from The Atlanta Hawks, The Alliance Theatre, The Trap Music Museum, and more.
“We’ve been so blessed with people throughout that entire history that have been supportive of this place [The High] with not just financial resources, but with their time and expertise,” said Rand Suffolk, Director of The High Museum of Art.
“Everyone has been trying to ensure that The High is positioned to ducktail our strengths with the community’s needs,” he added.
The High Museum was founded in 1926 when Harriet “Hattie” High donated her Peachtree Street home to establish a true home for the arts, “bowered in lovely green trees and shrubs”, in a bustling southern metropolis.
On October 19, 1926, The Atlanta Constitution wrote it in as such and where the permanent collections will live and be a gem for the children of Atlanta to cherish.
