Night of Ideas

Civic Market

The Civic Market will be a lively gathering space where Atlanta-based nonprofits host tables to present their work, engage with the public, and connect with potential donors and volunteers.

Beyond visibility, the Civic Market is designed as a space for encounter and cross-pollination, allowing organizations to learn from one another, explore collaboration, and imagine forms of mutualization and collective action. By bringing together initiatives working across culture, climate, food justice, civic innovation, and community engagement, the Civic Market aims to strengthen civic participation and nurture a more connected, resilient civic ecosystem in the Greater Atlanta area.

Global Growers Network (GGN) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the
local food system by supporting farmers from diverse backgrounds. We work with
growers—many of whom bring deep agricultural knowledge and cultural food traditions—to
provide access to land, training, and market opportunities. Through our network of
community gardens and farms across metro Atlanta, GGN helps farmers build sustainable
businesses while increasing access to fresh, locally grown food. Beyond farming, we engage
the broader community through volunteer programs, educational experiences, and public
events that connect people more directly to where their food comes from. By bridging
growers and communities, Global Growers Network fosters economic opportunity, cultural
exchange, and a more resilient, inclusive food system for Atlanta and beyond.
