BEST ATLANTA STREET ART BY NEIGHBORHOOD

Atlanta Beltline

Take a walk on Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail where the stroll is filled with murals from art OGs like HENSE, Peter Ferrari, Greg Mike and more.

On Atlanta BeltLine Westside Trail, go through the tunnel under the Lucille bridge for “The Highball Artist” by Hadley Breckenridge. Check out “Reflection” by Ericka Chisolm, as well as the vibrant art around West End Brewing.

Where to start: Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail entrance at 10th Street and Monroe Drive walking toward Ponce City Market and farther to Krog Street Market. Access Westside Trail from Washington Park at Lena Street south to University Avenue.

Old Fourth Ward

Old Fourth Ward is full of trippy art you have to see to believe like the retro humorous traffic nuances of Chris Veal, fiery work from Rising Red Lotus and more eye-popping examples covering bridges, walls and underpasses.

Where to start: At the corner of Decatur and Daniel streets, work your way toward the Edgewood Avenue strip of bars and farther on Glen Iris Drive into North Avenue.

Downtown

The South Downtown and Castleberry Hill setting of old brick buildings and storefronts provides the canvas for works such as Dr. Dax’s graffiti American flag and ROA’s overturned crocodile, The Loss Prevention’s iconic John Lewis mural and Faatimah Stevens’ “Hey Brown Girl You’re Beautiful.”

Where to start: In Castleberry Hill at the corner of Peters and Trenholm streets, make your way up Walker Street into downtown Atlanta.

EAST ATLANTA VILLAGE (EAV)

There’s so much to see in this quirky neighborhood. We’re talking socially conscious work from Occasional Superstar, mind-bending images from Shaun Thurston and more.

Where to start: Start at The Graveyard Tavern on Glenwood Avenue and make your way up Flat Shoals Avenue to Argosy.

CABBAGETOWN/ INMAN PARK

The walkable aesthetic of industrial areas and restaurants in these neighborhoods make the perfect strip for a full-on art gallery. The annual Forward Warrior public art mural series uses Cabbagetown’s Wylie Street corridor as its canvas for an ever-changing array of pieces. There’s more artist work extending toward Memorial Drive, not to mention the Inman Park street art that runs along Krog Street.

Where to start: Starting at the corner of Pearl and Wylie streets will set you on a straight course of mural after mural.

Discover Atlanta With 50 Fun Things To See And Do In Atlanta For 2023

50 Fun Things started in the early 2000s as a brochure to guide visitors to all the new things to do in Atlanta after the Centennial Olympic Games. Since then, it has been printed annually as a brochure and as a list on Atlanta.net.

50 Fun Things was redesigned in 2020 for the launch of DiscoverAtlanta.com (formerly known as Atlanta.net). The site and brochure were covered with icons drawn by Atlanta muralist George Baker III. The brochure expanded with stickers for visitors to track the places they had been. 50 Fun Things 2023 takes the sticker party up a notch. It has been transformed into an interactive game – the 50 Fun Things Check-In Challenge – in the Discover ATL app. The brochure, app and site all feature artwork by local artist Ross Peterkin.

ACVB showcased its redesigned brochure, revamped website for 50

Fun Things to See and Do in Atlanta and the 50 Fun Things Check-In Challenge during the first hospitality event of the year at the Fox Theatre. The event also celebrated the attractions and experiences that helped the destination gain a spot on Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel list, National Geographic’s Best of the World list and Money Magazine’s Best Places to Live list. Check out 50 Fun Things and the new 50 Fun Things Check-In Challenge to take discovering Atlanta to a different level.
