The Spring
The Spring is reimagining the vision of an urban community and cultural center as a world-class, multi-use campus.
Who We Are
Imagine a landmark Jewish community and cultural center in the heart of Midtown Atlanta. A hub engaging neighbors, civic leaders, cultural organizations on multi-use urban campus at Atlanta's most exciting intersection.
The Vision for the Campus
The Spring integrates four distinct components designed to create a place where every Atlantan feels welcome.
Cultural Anchor
A renewed and expanded Breman Museum, in partnership with ANU–The Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv, featuring immersive galleries and a state-of-the-art theater for live performances and year-round Atlanta Jewish Film Festival screenings.
Community & Wellness
A multipurpose gymnasium and basketball court for Maccabiah athletes and youth programming, alongside versatile lounge and conference spaces for local nonprofits and community groups.
Culinary & Social Connection
A restaurant/cafe that serves as a neighborhood gathering spot — a place to connect over food and drink before a lecture or after a film.
Sustainable Living
Market-rate housing alongside dedicated units for specific populations, creating an inclusive living environment and innovative revenue model.
Already in Action
The Spring is active and growing, proving that Atlanta is hungry for modern, inclusive Jewish cultural spaces.
