The Atlanta Press Club invites the public to explore the aspects of Atlanta’s hidden art scene, including where funding comes from, how media can better cover arts and culture and the key players who help foster the city’s thriving underground art community. How does Atlanta’s support of the local arts compare to other metro areas? What do Atlantans value in the arts? Is Atlanta an arts town? Panelists include Dorian McDuffie of the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, CL Music Editor Chad Radford, departing ArtsATL executive editor Laura Relyea, WonderRoot and Murmur’s Amanda Mills and artist Ashley Anderson of Press Start to Begin. Former AJC entertainment reporter Jewel Wicker moderates.

Unpacking Manuel’s Tavern site launch

Manuel’s Tavern - 602 N. Highland Ave. N.E. Atlanta, GA 30306 Free. 7 p.m.

The Unpacking Manuel’s Tavern project is an “interactive archive of materials that adorn the walls of Manuel’s Tavern” that began in 2015 before the watering hole began renovations. The Unpacking team scanned, photographed and otherwise recorded each bit of memorabilia on the longstanding meeting place’s walls and eventually uploaded their information to Omeka to allow individuals to interact with the artifacts and stories of Manuel’s Tavern. Site visitors can browse artifacts, explore the walls in high-resolution, take 360-degree photo and video tours, experience a virtual reconstruction and read or listen to stories and essays.
