From April 13–17, Georgia Tech Arts will present Tech Arts Fest, a five-day, campuswide celebration of creativity that brings together exhibitions, film, workshops, performances, and interactive experiences across the Institute. 

Designed to connect students, faculty, staff, and the broader community, the festival highlights the role of the arts at Georgia Tech and the ways creative practice intersects with research, technology, and everyday campus life. 

“Tech Arts Fest is about creating space for discovery and connection,” said Thomas Brazzle, assistant director, producing of residency at Georgia Tech Arts. “It’s an opportunity for the campus community to engage with the arts in different ways, whether that’s experiencing new work, learning a skill, or sharing their own creative voice.” 

The 2026 festival builds on this momentum with a week of events that activate campus spaces and invite participation at every level. 

The festival opens Monday, April 13, with the Gallery Expo at the Ferst Center for the Arts, featuring student, faculty, and staff work alongside curated exhibitions including Cosmic Missteps and Campus Placemakers. The evening will also include the unveiling of a commissioned art piece by Georgia Tech alum José Awo, inspired by student and alumni reflections on belonging. 

On Tuesday, April 14, the LMC Film Festival showcases original student films, offering a platform for emerging filmmakers and highlighting the intersection of storytelling, media, and technology. 

Midweek programming continues Wednesday, April 15, with the inaugural TechX Talk at the Ferst Center. The event brings together student artists, collaborators, and campus creatives to share projects and ideas, with opportunities for audience engagement and conversation. 

Hands-on experiences take center stage Thursday, April 16, with events such as Paint & Pop and a Mixed Media Workshop, inviting participants to explore creative techniques in an accessible, collaborative environment. 

The festival culminates Friday, April 17, with the Tech Arts Fest Block Party, a high-energy closing event featuring live performances, music, food, and interactive activities, including “The Groovement” in partnership with TekStyles and guest artists. 

Throughout the week, Tech Arts Fest reflects Georgia Tech’s broader commitment to integrating creativity into a research-driven environment. By bringing together disciplines, perspectives, and communities, the festival underscores how the arts contribute to innovation, well-being, and a more connected campus experience. 

“Creativity is essential to how we learn, collaborate, and solve problems. Tech Arts Fest highlights the many ways the arts are already influencing the Georgia Tech community.” -Santana Nash, artistic residency and student programming coordinator. 

Tech Arts Fest is free and open to the campus community.
