2025
—A YEAR OF GROWTH
Since 1968, the Woodruff Arts Center has been a place for every person to experience the magic, power, and joy of
the arts. When we opened our doors nearly 60 years ago, we could not have imagined the impact the Arts Center
would have on our community today. Because of our generous donors and strong partnerships, more than 1.4 million
people come together each year on our campus to connect, learn, and grow through the arts.
We believe deeply in the arts as a catalyst for strengthening the body, brain, and behavior. Through the important
work of the Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and High Museum of Art, we continue to see how
artistic experiences spark curiosity, support learning, and build resilience. As Atlanta faces complex challenges, we
see tremendous opportunity to expand the role the arts play in supporting well-being and inspiring people of all ages
to thrive.
In January, we opened the Goizueta Stage for Youth & Families and PNC PlaySpace and began an exciting new
chapter at the Arts Center. We hope you will see these spaces as your own, places where you and your loved ones can
explore, discover, and share meaningful experiences together.
As we welcome a new year, we remain committed to ensuring that every person in Atlanta and beyond has access to
the many benefits the arts provide. With your partnership, we will continue creating programs and experiences that
fuel creativity, expand opportunities, and strengthen our community. Join us as we look back on 2025 and shift our
focus to the growth ahead.
To our friends and partners, thank you for your support. Our future is bright with you by our side.
With gratitude,
