2021 Annual Report (Callanwolde Fine Arts Center)

Events and Entertainment

The pandemic created a unique challenge to provide the community with much needed arts entertainment while maintaining the safety of our guests. Callanwolde took full advantage of its one-acre outdoor Amphitheater and 27,000 sq. ft. Mansion to spread guests out in pod seating when appropriate. Callanwolde was one of the few outdoor live music venues available in Atlanta during the Covid pandemic, providing a refuge to support musicians who wanted to perform and safe space for the community to come out and enjoy music. SPRING CONCERT SERIES Callanwolde introduced a new outdoor Spring Concert Series on Friday evenings in March and April 2021. The sold out concerts took place in Callanwolde’s outdoor Amphitheater and featured an array of musicians including Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics, Michelle Malone, Victor Wainwright, and Seth Walker. JAZZ ON THE LAWN Celebrating its 22nd year, the popular Jazz on the Lawn concert series took place in Callanwolde’s outdoor Amphitheater on five Friday evenings August through October 2021. The sold out performances featured some of Atlanta’s best known jazz performers including Eddie and Mayi Lopez & Orquesta MaCuba, Joey Somerville, Karla Harris, Joe Alterman, and Joe Gransden with Robin Latimore. Many thanks to our Jazz on the Lawn sponsors: Ameris Bank, Holland & Knight, and JAZZ WCLK 91.9.
