@@ -64,6 +64,9 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](http://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).
 - Added support for `precision=64`, enabling training with double precision ([#6595](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/6595))
 
 
+- Added `artifact_location` argument to `MLFlowLogger` which will be passed to the `MlflowClient.create_experiment` call ([#6677](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/6677))

 ### Changed
 
 - Renamed `pytorch_lightning.callbacks.swa` to `pytorch_lightning.callbacks.stochastic_weight_avg` ([#6259](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/6259))
