Happy 100th Birthday to President Jimmy Carter. In 1973, Governor Jimmy Carter proclaimed Atlanta Ballet the State Ballet of Georgia. From all at the State Ballet of Georgia, thank you for that designation 50 years ago and congratulations on your centennial! 📸Jimmy Carter, governor of Georgia, at his desk in Atlanta, Feb. 19, 1971.

"The sale comes as Atlanta Ballet see ticket sales rebound and as it looks to kickstart fundraising efforts. But its recent challenges underscore broader issues facing the arts community." Glad for this story to be told broadly! This repositioning of Atlanta Ballet’s assets provide the resources needed to focus on Atlanta Ballet’s future, where world-class programming, dance training, and education are ensured for all Atlanta. The Atlanta Ballet Board made this strategic decision post-pandemic to build on the momentum Atlanta Ballet has achieved in the past few years in sales and fundraising, and looks forward to more destination programs like last spring’s "Coco Chanel: The Life of a Fashion Icon" that broke sales and attendance records for the company. All of this has been accomplished in a state that ranks last in support for the arts. Imagine what could be accomplished with greater support.
