A radically inclusive and diverse artistic community
This is the vision of Arts at UUCA. How can we explore the world through various artistic disciplines? How can we positively impact our community through arts offerings? We seek to explore these questions while grounding our programming in UU values and quarterly worship themes.

PULGRAM GALLERY
Located on the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta campus, Pulgram Gallery is the renewed iteration of the oldest art gallery in Atlanta. Founded in 1967, UUCA’s gallery space has a long history of supporting local artists and presenting thoughtful exhibitions. Pulgram Gallery aims to continue that legacy and commit to cultivating a radically inclusive and diverse artistic community. Art is a vehicle for engaging in authentic conversations; Pulgram Gallery is a home for courageous connection through fine art.
PERFORMING ARTS

From choir to small ensembles and much more, performance art at UUCA drives participants and audience members to deeply explore themes derived from our Sunday worship programs.
