AJC × ATLANTA UNITED · PUBLIC ART
ComfiArt has teamed up with the AJC and Atlanta United to turn two walls at 10th St & Monroe Dr NE, near Piedmont Park, into public art, led by Atlanta artist Dionna Collins with assisting artist Tracy Murrell.
THE PROJECT
This stretch of the BeltLine sees thousands of walkers, runners and riders every day. We're replacing blank walls with art that's big, bold and unmistakably Atlanta: a main wall facing the trail, and a five-sided enclosure wrapped in an abstract design.
~600
square feet of wall across two surfaces
Oct 30

Presented by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) and Atlanta United, designed and produced by ComfiArt.
