Sign up for Fencing! Yes, that fencing. With a foil, an épée, and a sabre.
Jugglers in the side yard, masked dancers rehearsing mime in the Euclid Avenue yard, authentic African drums under the trees at the corner, sewing upstairs.
Everywhere you look are creative people making art. They’re also teaching anyone who would like to learn. Spaces in this old school are rented at special rates for artist studios. There are also classes to teach chess, juggling, sewing, Universal Kenpo Tai Chi, and authentic African dance. And Horizon Theater occupies the building facing Austin Avenue.
A successful experiment in adaptive reuse, this 1918 school building was purchased from the Atlanta School Board in 1995 by a great non-profit entity, Little 5 Points Community Center, Inc. The organization is managed by a Board of Directors along with other community leaders and representatives of the building’s tenants and nearby neighborhoods.
The Little 5 Points Community Center also hosts blood drives, and Emory offers Covid and STD testing once a month. We now have a veterinarian who comes to the Center, so you don’t have to go out of the neighborhood for your pet care. The Community Center Café is a designated polling place—a short walk to cast your vote.
