The Molly Blank Center for Opera and Arts
Open House
Tuesday, February 17, 2026
noon - 2 pm
An invitation from The Atlanta Opera's Managing Director, Micah Fortson:
Hello new neighbors!
After years of conversations, community meetings, planning, fundraising, challenges, and triumphs, we’re excited to announce that we are breaking ground on the Molly Blank Center for Opera and the Arts! This is a momentous time where we cross the threshold from dream to reality and mark a new era for classical arts in Atlanta. I would like to personally extend my warmest appreciation for the overwhelming support we have received from neighborhood residents. We hope that you will consider yourselves a part of our Atlanta Opera family.
The site (and parking) will be closed for construction starting February 14, 2026, and expected to reopen to the community in the Fall of 2027. For more information, please visit our website.
On Tuesday, February 17, we are hosting an open house (or “tent”) from noon – 2 pm on the lawn where Havenridge Drive terminates at the NW Beltline Connector Trail. We welcome you to visit, get to know us better, and have coffee or cocoa with some of our staff.
We’ll be in our large circus tent as a symbolic callback to how far the arts have come since the pandemic. We hope to see you there!
AMPC and Trees Atlanta are partnering with the City of Atlanta Parks and Recreation Department to host its Love Your Park volunteer day on Saturday, February 28, 2026 from 9 am - noon. Now in its third year, this annual citywide event is the perfect way to get our parks looking their best for spring.
Grab your sneakers, bring a friend, and come show some love! We will be working along the NW Beltline Connector Trail in the Haynes Manor neighborhood. To join us, register here!
Stop by on Sunday, March 17, from 4:00 - 5:30 pm to enjoy a St. Patrick's Day treat and to learn more about the Atlanta Memorial Park Conservancy and our sponsor, Kathy Olmstead of HOME Luxury Real Estate!
AMPC is excited to welcome back the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (CRK) for the Sweep the Hooch on Saturday, March 21, 2026 from 9 am to noon. Presenting sponsor Ruby-Collins will join volunteers on this day to remove trash and debris from the creek and its streambanks. The registration link goes live on February 14, 2026 - click here to join us!
A special thanks goes out to the City of Atlanta's Department of Parks and Recreation for working with AMPC and CRK to dispose of the trash that will be removed from the creek.
