Programs

Since its launch in 2020, the Atlanta Arts & Entertainment District has engaged over 200 creatives through dynamic programming and activations. Beginning with In Light..., the District’s inaugural outdoor exhibition, the initiative has grown to include a diverse array of public art installations, live performances, and placemaking projects throughout Downtown Atlanta. The program continues to spotlight and uplift local talent, with a special focus on Atlanta-based artists, while fostering vibrant community connections.

The Art and Activation program now extends beyond its signage platform to activate a network of Downtown spaces, authentically showcasing the city’s creativity, diversity, and cultural vibrancy. Signature initiatives like Downtown Windows, seasonal activations at the Broad Street Boardwalk, and curated public art projects transform streets and public spaces into engaging venues for art, music, and culture.

With a steadfast commitment to celebrating Atlanta’s thriving creative community, the Art and Activation program ensures that Downtown Atlanta remains a leading destination for cultural connection, innovation, and inspiration.
