The Southwest Arts Center is a true gem in the City of South Fulton. From the moment you arrive, the architectural design sets the tone for an immersive cultural experience. The facility is beautifully maintained, offering a welcoming and inspiring environment for artists, performers, and art enthusiasts alike.

The theater space is intimate yet grand, providing excellent acoustics and sightlines for performances. Whether attending a stage play, a concert, or a spoken word event, the productions here are always of high quality, reflecting the center's commitment to artistic excellence.

Beyond performances, the center offers dynamic art exhibitions, community workshops, and classes that engage creatives of all levels. The dedication to fostering local talent and bringing diverse artistic expressions to the community is truly commendable.

The Southwest Arts Center is not just a venue—it’s a cultural hub that enriches the City of South Fulton and beyond. If you appreciate the arts, this is a must-visit destination. I highly recommend checking their event calendar and experiencing it for yourself!

My first time attending was to see Jaja’s African Braid Shop. What a treat! The production was high quality, entertaining and thought provoking. The staff was warm and welcoming. The facility was clean and easy to navigate. There truly isn’t a bad seat in the place. This certainly wont be my last time at Southwest Arts Center. What a treat in our beautiful neighborhood. The

Myself and two of my friends bought tickets to see. jAJa hair braiding on sat 3/8 2025. We bout our tickets on line. When you bought the tickets it stated if we acknowledge that we were buying tickets in a wheelchair section and I accepted the yes. It never stated that we had to have a wheelchair. When we got to the theatre to show our tickets. The lady told us those seats were taken by someone who had a wheelchair. To that I asked what was the options she had for us. Because why did it allow us to buy the seats it they were taken. Or if they gave the seats to someone who didn’t why the wheelchair seats but came with a wheelchair person. The lady said we need to see a floor manger. The lady we spoke too was very nasty towards us. She accused us of trying to take a wheelchair seat. I explained to her that we paid 58 dollars for the tickets which were the same as the prices of others seats that was left. We choose those because it was 3 seats together. So we were not trying to steal any seats. We bought the seats because we were allowed to buy the seats. They were not blocked off and did not say it was restricted to wheelchairs only. She then told us that we had to pay 15 extra dollars to change the seats. In which we never understood why The whole experience was awful 😢 and caused us not to enjoy the show. I will never return to this place again.

The John Lewis Quilt Exhibit is moving, compelling, and sends a loud message of the need to vote. We must never forget.

I recently went to the Fulton Southwest Arts Center to see the musical "Mother of God." While the acting and singing was phenomenal, the story was biblically inaccurate. As a Christian, I was disappointed in several of the disparities that misaligned Scripture in the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus. There were several discrepancies which was Mary being betrothed to an older man which isn't Scriptural. In addition, in the Bible Gabriel the angel appeared to Joseph to reassure him about Mary being pregnant with the son of God. In the musical this doesn't happen. Finally, in the Bible Herod wants to kill all of the babies under the age of 2 years old and the Lord protects them and sends them away until Herod dies later. In the musical, the people who come to kill Jesus grabs the baby from Mary and then Joseph grabs baby Jesus back. I do not support this musical and I don't recommend you support it if you're a believer. I will not go and see this again.

The play The Wiz was very entertaining. My whole family enjoyed it. Thank you for putting on a great show. Thought the Loin was wonderful.

DOT by Colman Domingo and directed by Kenny Leon was heart touching. This play is about family, friends, and the circle of life. The live performance made us laugh, reflect and appreciate life and all that we take along with it. You start off sympathizing with the caregivers and leave empathizing with the aging. For me it was a beautiful waltz beginning with the children's pivot turn and ending with the mother's beautiful natural free spin. This play is a healthy expression of the effects of Alzheimer's disease. You won't be disappointed.
