ELEVATE Atlanta: Rooted & Rising brought the city together for a three-day celebration of Atlanta’s creative legacy, bridging the past, present, and future of its cultural scene. From October 10–12, curators Courtney Brooks, Melissa Alexander, and SLW + STEADY transformed the city through art, fashion, and music — honoring the roots of Atlanta’s ‘80s–2000s era while spotlighting the new voices shaping what’s next.
A heartfelt thank you to all the artists, participants, vendors, and partners who made this year’s festival possible. Your creativity, collaboration, and community spirit continue to keep Atlanta rooted — and rising.
