The Arts Exchange, formerly known as the South East Community Cultural Arts Center, is a vibrant and inclusive community arts center located in Atlanta, GA. Since its establishment in 1983, it has been a hub for artists and community members to come together and engage in a wide range of artistic disciplines, from traditional to experimental. With a mission to nourish the creativity and careers of black artists, promote cultural diversity, and inspire new generations of artists and patrons, The Arts Exchange offers a variety of programs, including literary events, gallery exhibitions, community gardens, and studio artist programs.
With a rich history of reshaping the Metro Atlanta arts scene, The Arts Exchange has been a gathering place for community events, social change efforts, and artistic exploration. In 2018, the center relocated to East Point, intentionally choosing a community that lacked access to a multifaceted arts facility. The move allowed The Arts Exchange to continue its mission of expanding accessibility to the arts and empowering artists and residents to actively engage in life-changing creative experiences. Shortchange, the center's new name, reflects its commitment to embracing change and embracing the diverse artistic expressions of its community.
