Nothing you are hearing in the media is true. It is sensationalized crap. It is really sad and unfortunate to me that we are being defamed in this way. We do so much that is amazing, and that has nothing to do with parties. You didn’t hear in the news that other events that have happened at CoLab were things like Haiti benefits and benefits for local artists (where we raised over $3,000 for local artists). None of the good things we have done are newsworthy, apparently.

This stupid party was not newsworthy. It is so sad to me that it is being spun into something it was not. I am speaking personally when I say that all of this is actually working to kill my spirit. I’m wearing down. They’re winning. Congratulations media and Atlanta, you’re working diligently on crushing yet another positive thing that could have helped this city be a better, happier place. Way to go.

FOR ANY MEDIA: If you wish to discuss CoLab or the event from Saturday night, please contact us@colaboratory.net and we will be happy to schedule interviews.

Please note that most of the information being reported by the media is incorrect, and we hope to remedy the misinformation.

Specifically, we were not, and have not been, serving alcohol. We have been working diligently for months to obtain proper licenses and permits.

Colaboratory takes pride in our community and our surrounding neighborhood. We have done a lot of amazing things here, and we hope to continue to do so for a long time to come.

An ascent into the experience of visionary art . . . a gathering of artists, enthusiasts and collectors . . . connecting and inspiring . . . workshops, exhibitions and LIVE painters . . . all within an intimate environment in rhythm within the creative forces of the New Moon . . .

A Bazaar of Artists appears.

Once a month, artists within our community gather to share our ideas, exhibit pieces we are currently creating, paint LIVE,… hold workshops and arrange for guest speakers.

Come join us for our first gathering Wednesday, Aug 11.

Artists & Workshops To Be Announced . . .

The Bizarre Bazaar is a new open bazaar event showcasing you and your stuff for sale. Anyone who has something to sell is invited — crafts, clothing, art, glow toys, baked goods, massage services, anything!

Bring a table and a chair and your stuff for sale, there’s no cost to set up. Space could be limited, so sellers feel free to show up as early as 1pm to get your space.

CoLab will staff a cash register and handle all monetary… transactions between buyers and sellers. We take a 10% fee on any transaction.

No fee to enter. Free parking!

Rain or shine!

The Jungle II: Prehistoric

Due to the lack of dinosaurs and lasers at the last Jungle, we’re throwing another event.

YES…JUNGLE MADNESS
…
This time we are transforming Colab into a realm of an unknown jungle past. Jungle-attire (of ALL eras) is definitely recommended.

Two rooms of choonz. Lasers. Fans.

Come enter the ultimate UV jungle. Request off Saturday AND Sunday. Be prepared for a long night of dancing to a variety of electronic music…take a nap beforehand– you are going to want to stay until the very end. Bring things that glow, a change of clothes, tons of energy, FRIENDS, and if of age, BYOB.

Candy, surprise movie, gum, paint, dancing, more paint, more dancing, glowsticks, blacklights, fingerlights, and MORE! (Updates soon)

Let’s keep it clean this time—there will be plenty of trashcans on site, so use them. No egos and no inhibitions. This will truly be a night of peace, love, unity, and respect.

Get pumped!

$10, 18+, free parking,
