Please join us for the first arts salon of the semester, co-hosted by GT Arts at the library. 

Georgia Tech Arts Community Salons are monthly opportunities to gather in community, share insights, and get inspired. There will be opportunities to learn about the many arts-related efforts and arts resources around campus and to connect with fellow arts leaders at Tech.

This special edition of the salon at GT Library features guest speaker Paige Adair from the Portman Archives, who will offer a brief but fascinating look into the artistic legacy of John Portman—renowned architect, Georgia Tech alumnus, and passionate arts patron. Known for his iconic contributions to Atlanta’s skyline, Portman approached architecture as a holistic art form, seamlessly integrating visual art into his building designs. His final sculpture, KOAN, now stands proudly behind the Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons. While you're here, don’t miss the Library’s special exhibition on the life and work of John Portman, now open in the Price Gilbert first floor Exhibit Gallery.
