Atlanta Gallery Collective’s flagship exhibit is a photography show featuring portraits of James Beard Award-winning and nominated chefs and mixologists from around the Southeast.

Through Mar. 31: The public is invited to discuss life’s big questions at the Question Booth from internationally renowned podcast company HowStuffWorks. Each week, a new question is posted, and producers from HowStuffWorks are on-site to drive conversation with thought-provoking prompts.
