The Atlanta BeltLine

Art on the Atlanta BeltLine is an expression of the nurturing soul of the Atlanta BeltLine. It is a testament to the Atlanta BeltLine as a living, breathing entity that is more than just trees, trails, and rails. It is a powerful conduit for everyone in the Atlanta region to gather, connect, and experience something vibrant and dynamic; something that stirs passions and creates an energy unlike anything that has ever been conceived of in our vast community.

A World of Art within Our World

Art on the Atlanta BeltLine is the City of Atlanta’s largest public art exhibition that showcases the work of hundreds of visual artists, performers, musicians and historic preservationists along the Atlanta BeltLine corridor. This spectacular project places working professionals alongside emerging artists, and introduces residents and visitors to the interim hiking trails of the Atlanta BeltLine project, as well as the diverse communities encompassing the city’s core.

Art On the Atlanta Beltline Exhibitions

Throughout the summer and fall of 2010, Art on the Atlanta BeltLine exhibited more than 40 unique works of visual and performance art. Art installations and historic site interpretations adorned the corridor from June through October, with more than 30 performances bringing thousands of Atlanta residents onto the Atlanta BeltLine.
In 2011, the number of projects increased by over 30 percent and included more than 330 individuals presenting 66 visual and performance pieces.

The exhibition typically runs from September through November each year (please check our schedule for the most up-to-date information). Visual installations and performances are concentrated in the following areas along the Atlanta BeltLine:

• West Side: From Allene Avenue north to Washington Park
• Eastside Trail: From Lake / Irwin north to the intersection of 10th Street and Monroe Drive and then north to Montgomery Ferry Drive
• Southeast side: From Wylie Street south to Memorial Drive

Art on the Atlanta BeltLine is produced by a working group of more than a dozen committed volunteers from Atlanta BeltLine neighborhoods, historic preservationists, and organizations such as WonderRoot, Eyedrum, Savannah College of Art and Design, Atlanta BeltLine, Inc., the City’s Office of Cultural Affairs, The Atlanta BeltLine Partnership, Atlanta City Council and the Fulton County Arts Council.
