Wednesday June 2nd, 2004

It’s the First Thursday of the month again in downtown ATLANTA and Turner's got a great evening of art and the outdoors lined up for you! Turner First Thursdays is the perfect way to welcome Atlanta's lovely Summer weather. Stroll through a dozen galleries, artist work spaces and performing art venues. Selected by Atlanta Magazine as the Best Art Crawl, you should come see what you're missing. Gallery stops include the APEX Museum, the High Museum or Art Folk Art and Photography Galleries, Atlanta Luckie Street Studios and The GSU School of Art & Design Galleries.

On Monday night the 2004 Coca-Cola Summer Film Festival kicks off with "Big Ain't Bad". The time-honored tradition of the summer film festival at the Fox Theatre is an experience not to be missed! Now recognized as the Coca-Cola Film Festival, this is truly the best way to see the Fox as seen by those who came on opening day in 1929. While the orchestra and dancers are long gone, audiences can still experience the magic of the Fox's "Mighty Mo" organ and the tradition of the sing-a-long that takes place before each film. Each Film Festival features a combination of current and classic films, truly something for every movie-goer. ORGAN MUSIC/RADIO PERSONALITIES/SING-A-LONG begin about 40 minutes prior to film's scheduled start time.

Wondering what it might be like to live Downtown and avoid the grind of morning commutes? Looking for innovative ideas for decorating an ordinary living room? Trying to find creative ways to enjoy the spring weather outside looking at art, grooving to music, or having fun with your kids? Then MARK YOUR CALENDARS for the 2004 Atlanta Downtown Neighborhood Festival and Tour of Lofts! Next weekend - June 12 and 13, 2004 - The Atlanta Downtown Neighborhood Association (ADNA) and Central Atlanta Progress (CAP) are joining forces to co-produce a combined event crafted from their individual past successes.

There are MANY OTHER EVENTS GOING ON THIS WEEK in downtownATL.
