Art on the BeltLine


The Atlanta BeltLine presents Art on the BeltLine: Atlanta’s New Public Place, the first art exhibition to be placed along the Atlanta BeltLine corridor. Art on the BeltLine will put more than 40 visual and performance art installations at various points along the historic 22-mile railroad corridor.


The exhibition is presented by U.S. Micro Corporation to highlight the Atlanta BeltLine project. The kickoff event will take place this Saturday, June 5 at 4 p.m. in Gordon White Park. The exhibition will continue through October and will be open to pedestrians and bicyclists. Brian Leary, CEO of Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. (ABI) comments on the exhibition:


Art on the BeltLine’s dynamic installations and performances highlight the diverse and vibrant neighborhoods that surround the Atlanta BeltLine. The scale and quality of this project is a testament to the hard work and creativity of dozens of partners, volunteers and the amazing artists that have put their souls into this.


The Atlanta BeltLine is a $2.8 billion redevelopment project that will provide public parks, trails and transit along the historic 22-mile railroad corridor, which circles downtown Atlanta and connects many neighborhoods together. ABI was formed by the Atlanta Development Authority and is currently one of the largest urban redevelopment projects in the nation.
