The Spruill Center for the Arts opened 15 new artist workspaces in the former Chamblee City Hall building this month.

Chamblee is emerging as an arts destination in Atlanta because of that expansion. The move places additional studio space inside a city-owned building that previously housed municipal offices, giving local creators direct access to workspaces without leaving the metro area.

Chamblee Workspaces Draw Attention

The 15 studios sit in the former Chamblee City Hall building. Atlanta Magazine reported the opening as part of a broader shift that positions Chamblee alongside established cultural nodes such as the Fox Theatre and the High Museum of Art.

Theater and Exhibition Calendar

The Atlanta Shakespeare Company stages A Midsummer Night's Dream at Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse through Sunday, August 2, 2026. Singer Jill Scott, a three-time Grammy winner, appeared at the Fox Theatre on a tour that featured different set lists in each city. Atlanta Contemporary presents Georgia Women to Watch 2026: A Book Arts Revolution through May 17, 2026. The High Museum of Art shows Picturing the South: 25 Years and hosts Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience at Pratt-Pullman Yard.

These dates and locations appear in event listings from The Atlanta Voice and Creative Loafing. The Dragon Con gathering is scheduled for September 3-7 in Downtown Atlanta, adding another large-scale arts and entertainment draw later in the season.

Visitors can check venue websites for current hours and ticket availability before heading to any of the listed sites.
