2026 Hambidge Hive Auction & Closing Party

Hambidge’s 31st annual auction will take place on the 15th floor of Resurgens Center @ Uptown, the vibrant mixed-use community surrounding the Lindbergh MARTA station, complete with a captivating 360-degree view of the skyline and immersive installations by twelve artists. The auction will open on March 19 with a free reception and micro artist market, hosted by the American Craft Council. After a month of programming, artist talks, activations, a panel luncheon, and a curator-led tour, the auction will culminate on April 18 with the auction closing party. As always, the auction party includes a dynamic mix of performances, DJs, artist activations, music, and visual and culinary arts celebrating the vastness of creativity in all its forms—rooted in place and reflective of the vibrant community that gathers around Hambidge.

2026 HIVE INSTALLATION ARTISTS

‍

As a core component of our new auction model in the Uptown space, we are once again proud to announce collaborations with twelve installation artists:Michi Meko, Noushin, Emma Ramirez, Jason Friedes, Charlita, Benjamin Roosevelt, Sayma Hossain, Jasmine Best, Pam Korman, George Long, Laura Bell, and Matt Haffner. These artists were chosen both for how their practices expand on functional materiality and invite audiences to engage with the living traditions of craft. We are thrilled with the work's thematic components which truly represent the essence of Hambidge: a reverence for the environment, an emphasis on communal conversation, the meditative ritual of creative work, and the preservation of memory, place, and tradition. The 2026 Hambidge Hive installations are supported in part by a grant from the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs (OCA).
