Founded in 1998, Eyedrum is one of Atlanta's oldest art and show rooms run by volunteers.
Eyedrum often organizes events in collaboration with community partners, including annual Listening Machines events with Georgia Institute of Technology, Henry W.

It hosts a monthly improvised night focusing on experimental exploration in music and sound. In the past, music groups from organizations organized the Table of the Elements Festival and the Rogue Independent Music Festival. Live performances of various acts such as Ken Lockie, Hubcap City, Bill Taft, and Tunnels were recorded on Eyedrum and later released as a live album.
