OCA Brings the Fair Saturday Movement to America

The Fair Saturday Movement welcomes Atlanta as a Fair Saturday Official City 2019. The City of Atlanta is excited to partner with the Fair Saturday Movement.  Last weekend in Bilbao, Spain, the announcement of Atlanta as a Fair Saturday participant was announced.

Atlanta is one of the first cities in the United States to welcome Fair Saturday, a collective celebration of arts and culture supporting social causes.  The initiative is a global mobilization that aims to create a positive social impact every last Saturday of November, the day following Black Friday. 

Artists and cultural organizations from all over the world get together in a global festival to support a social cause of their choice through their art and cultural presentation.  Thirteen of Atlanta’s Cultural organizations has committed to participation this year’s celebration.

How can your organization participate in Fair Saturday Atlanta 2019?

• Support a social cause of your choice through your art and cultural presentation.
• Generating funds for the chosen social cause by freely and voluntarily donating part of the value generated in the event (tickets, donations, etc.).
• Helping spread your participation through your communication channels and dedicate some time before the show/presentation/exhibit to share with your audience.
• You can couple Fair Saturday with an already existing or planned event.

The Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs welcomes other cultural organizations to participate in this initiative.  You may express your interest by contacting Monica Prothro at mdprothro@atlantaga.gov.
