ABOUT US

ALTxATL is a community-based organization that brings together alternative people in Atlanta, Georgia, and surrounding areas—showcasing alternative fashion, music, art, and more through our digital (and print!) magazines and creative projects.

We believe all types of alternative people deserve a space where they feel safe, seen, and accepted. Our mission is to create an inclusive environment where individuals can freely express themselves without fear of judgment or rejection.
Whether you’re goth, punk, grunge, emo, or simply exploring your identity, ALTxATL is a place where you can connect, collaborate, and thrive.
You’re not just welcome here, you belong here.

What is our mission?

ALTxATL is dedicated to amplifying the voices and creativity of Atlanta’s alternative community. Through magazines, events, and collaborative projects, we provide a safe and inclusive space where individuals can freely express themselves through fashion, music, art, and culture.

Our mission is to celebrate diversity, challenge norms, and connect people across subcultures while building a movement that empowers alternative voices to be seen, heard, and embraced.

Issue 9 is all about BLACK MAXIMALISM!

So often Black people are told we are too something: Too loud. Too bold. Too reckless Too much…
But who decides what “too much”
even means?

Issue 9 celebrates the inheritance of black maximalism from birth to bones. It honors the essence of being “extra” in a world that has always tried to shrink us.

WE’RE LOOKING FOR BLACK VOICES AND BLACK CREATIVES!


Send your most bold, most beautiful, and most “EXTRA” pieces to ALTxATL to be featured in our upcoming issue! We want it all!!!
