The High organizes and presents exhibitions of international and national significance alongside its comprehensive collection of more than 20,000 works of art, and is especially known for its 19th- and 20th-century American decorative arts, folk and self-taught art, modern and contemporary art, and photography. A cultural nexus of Atlanta since 1926, it hosts festivals, live performances, public conversations, independent art films, and educational programs year-round.
