The 12-foot tall, 10-year-old Syrian refugee puppet passed through Decatur during her journey across 16 countries since 2021. She travels as a symbol of hope and a reminder of the ongoing tragedy ravaging her homeland. Decatur Arts Alliance worked with Flux Projects, Center for Puppetry Arts, and MARTA Artbound to coordinate Little Amal’s visit to Decatur.
Upcoming Projects
Decatur Arts Alliance is thrilled to partner with Essential Theatre to establish a new 24-Hour Play Festival in the city of Decatur. The first annual Southern Fried Bake-Off will be a fast-paced collaboration between playwrights, directors, and actors over an exhilarating 24-hour period. Beginning at 7pm on January 5th, participating groups will write and rehearse brand new plays based on a Bake-Off theme and a list of “ingredients” – to be performed live at 7pm on January 6th at CORE Dance in downtown Decatur!
The 2024 Decatur Arts Festival will include a new component – the inaugural Decatur Children’s Book Festival. The inclusion of this program over the Decatur Arts Festival weekend will increase public engagement, serving as an opportunity for connection between organizations while also strategically combining costly infrastructure.
