OPEN HOUSE! January 18, 19 and 20, 2025

Join us as we celebrate the completion of the BE on Edgewood Complex at 395 Edgewood Ave, SE in the heart of Atlanta’s historic Sweet Auburn district. This historic preservation site has now been completely renovated and repurposed to serve as a community center, co-working space and performance venue, as well as the home of the National Race Amity Institute, the educational and research arm of the National Center for Race Amity.

Throughout the weekend leading up to the MLK Day, the building will be open with a variety of exciting and engaging activities, including:

• Unveiling of the Icons of Race Amity permanent exhibit
• Art gallery exhibit focusing on contemporary and emerging African American artists
• Film screenings, including several films about the history of the Race Amity Movement as well as African American arts and culture in Atlanta.
• Author presentations and book signings.

The Open House weekend will culminate with Atlanta’s annual MLK Day parade on January 20.

A complete calendar of events will be posted here in early January.
