KULTUR ENSEMBLE

FRANCO-GERMAN CULTURAL CENTER

As an independent local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta continues the legacy of the former Goethe-Institut Atlanta (1976–2007). Altogether, we have served the community across Atlanta and the Southeastern United States through language, culture, outreach and cultural programs for 50 years. For many of these years, we have shared office space with Alliance Française d'Atlanta, an Atlanta institution since 1912.

In 2023, together we officially became KULTUR ENSEMBLE!

One of only nine such organizations worldwide, and the only one in North America.

In partnership with the Alliance Française d’Atlanta, we offer joint cultural events, heritage programming, a framework for European cultural events, and immersive experiences for all.
