See You at the High!
Looking for a way to stay warm and boost your creativity this winter? Take a walk on the artsy side! The High Museum of Art has their 2025-2026 exhibition season in full swing, rolling out a mix of fashion, photography, and visionary art sure to get your creative juices flowing. Whether you’re planning a quick weekday spin through the galleries or making a full afternoon of it, there’s plenty to explore!
Where Couture Meets Chaos (In a Good Way)
The fashion crowd is flocking to the High for Viktor&Rolf: Fashion Statements, a retrospective on view now through February 8, 2026. You’ll find galleries filled with more than 100 sculptural looks that turned this Dutch duo into legends, each one blurring the line between wearable garment and stand-still-and-stare art object. Even if you don’t follow fashion, you’ll appreciate the sheer imagination on display!
Step Inside the Deep Imagination of Minnie Evans
A very different kind of visual feast is unfolding in the adjoining galleries, where The Lost World: The Art of Minnie Evans is on view now through April 19, 2026. This exhibition brings together a lush collection of Evans’s vivid drawings, many of them packed with jewel toned color, mirrored faces, botanical swirls, and intricate mandalas that seem to expand the longer you look. Expect an immersive, almost meditative atmosphere that pulls you into the inner world of an artist who turned intuition into something unforgettable.
The Family Album That Never Sat on Anyone’s Coffee Table
Things get stranger in winter with The Family Album of Ralph Eugene Meatyard, which arrives on December 12 and stays through May 10, 2026. In these photos, you’ll find staged domestic scenes with masks, eerie props, and abandoned settings that turn ordinary family snapshots into surreal puzzles. It’s easily the quirkiest exhibition of the season!
A New Kind of Western Story Told Through Light
Another highlight arrives with Blazing Light: Photographs by Mimi Plumb, on view February 6 through May 10, 2026. This first solo museum show brings together more than one hundred images captured across San Francisco and the American West, each one tracing how shifting politics, environmental pressures, and economic change have shaped everyday life since the 1970s.
No matter your tastes, Atlanta’s got a packed cultural year ahead, and the High is leading the charge! With a mix of couture, visionary drawings, surreal photography, and sweeping Western landscapes, this lineup proves that Atlanta’s creative streak isn’t slowing down anytime soon!
