Downtown arts venue expands programming, drives foot traffic

Downtown arts venue expands programming, drives foot traffic. Season tickets on sale mid-July; new film series and free concerts start now.

"We don't want to be overlooked in all the revitalization and changes; we want to be a part of them," Reid said.

The Rialto Center for the Arts is actively expanding programming (film series, drop-in visual art gallery, free lunchtime concerts, new membership model) to drive foot traffic to downtown Atlanta 90 - 180 days out, adding incremental daytime and evening visitors to a corridor already being reshaped by Centennial Yards, Cosm, and FIFA 2026 prep - meaningful upside for nearby independent restaurants that can capture pre-show and post-show dining.

2026-2027 season announced; most tickets on sale mid-July 2025; programming active now.
