Super fun and interesting outsider artist home. He came out and greeted us and said we can touch and climb on everything at our own risk 😉

We have been always thinking of stopping by this cool place and finally made it today. It’s really neat! We were pleasantly surprised the quality of artwork! Wow…

It was good to know they have a private tour with music! We got t-shirt and a CD of their original songs. Will definitely go back for tour and little concert someday with friends!

Clark is living proof of how art brings people together. The art environment he has thoughtfully envisioned and created over many years of hard labor and precise details that will blow your mind. And did I mention most are interactive and kinetic with gears. Take time to get to know the art/artist, you won’t regret any minute of the time there. Overwhelmed with the piece I now own! Thanks for everything you do, you’ve done and will do in the future.

Nice bike ride from southeast (until the last road). Refreshing to see something creative and new.

Druid Hill features the metal sculptures of artist Clark Ashton in a location that slopes down to a busy 4-lane that is virtually impassable to pedestrians and frequently logjammed by commuters. In a section of DeKalb County that is too busy for culture or history and for sale to the highest bidder, Ashton provides an arts venue that is open to the public (including the backyard) and to the imagination of all those who venture up the driveway.

Such a cool and unexpected experience! It was doubly unexpected for me because my boyfriend didn’t tell me where we were going, and I had no idea that the house with cool metal sculptures out front had even cooler metal sculptures out back!
I felt like I was just hangin with the coolest kid on the block, listening to his stories and songs, engaging with his art, chatting about life and the universe and everything.
If you like unusual, intimate experiences that let you feel like the cool kid for a few hours, I highly recommend it. So good.

This should be near the top of “cool things to do in Atlanta.” If you appreciate art and enjoy hearing artists talk about their work, take your first opportunity to visit this amazing series of installations. We visited Druid Hill yesterday evening in an Air BnB adventure. I have lived in this part of Atlanta for a long time and have seen Clarke’s work from the street, but in person it’s staggering. He gave a guided tour of the whole place. Front and back yards are filled with metal sculpture of all sizes - huge towers with kinetic features and all kinds of symbolism., well-crafted and beautiful in every detail. Everything tells a story and many of the pieces go together in sequence. Then we retired to a well-ventilated small performance space where he played a slide show and shared a lot of historical research he’s done about the property, and THEN Clarke, who’s also a musical recording artist who sings and plays guitar, played us a short set of his originals and cover songs. Easily the one of the most entertaining evenings I can remember. The next time Druid Hill will be open for tours is scheduled for some time in November - keep a lookout for this one!
