What is ART SEEN ATL?
ART SEEN ATL is a local-run publication covering music, film, photography, festivals, and all sorts of creative outlets in the city of Atlanta (and beyond!). Our goal is to document and uplift as many artists in our scene as we can. We also specialize in capturing some of the largest events our city has to offer. From local film screenings to sold-out concerts to artist interviews, we strive to share the beauty of ATL art with the rest of the world.
