Welcome to The Patch Works Art & History Center!

Our mission is to preserve, sustain, and maintain the historical identity, relevance, and integrity of Atlanta’s Cabbagetown – a 19th-century mill town community impacted by major urban development – through exhibits of history and local art, and community-based public programs and events.

Joyce to the World!

Join us in Cabbagetown Park on April 5th and celebrate a local hero: singer-songwriter Joyce Brookshire.

Come hear the music of Joyce Brookshire, performed by her songwriting partner Elise Witt, as well as friends and neighbors. Cabbagetown is proud to continue her legacy with a permanent home for music in the new Joyce Brookshire Amphitheatre designed by Martin Rickles Studio.

Visitors will see the 3d model unveiled, & meet the architects!
