The Woodruff Arts Center is the cultural heart of Atlanta and one of the largest arts complexes in the United States, home to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the Alliance Theatre, and the High Museum of Art. Named for Coca-Cola magnate Robert W. Woodruff, the campus on Peachtree Street anchors the city's Midtown arts district with a concentration of creative institutions unmatched in the American South. The Alliance Theatre's track record of premiering works that transfer to Broadway — including The Color Purple — gives the center national significance. Woodruff embodies Atlanta's ambition to stand among America's great cultural capitals.
