The Cabbagetown murals are a must see for any outdoor art enthusiast. You really need to find a parking spot and walk the full length. This long wall is a time capsule of work that simply needs time to marinate, to be digested to fully comprehend.
Heading into Atlanta proper, the Krog Street Tunnel should be high on the list of landmarks to check out for anyone with an interest in art.
While a road tunnel might not sound like a particularly promising place to see some of the city’s best artworks, the Krog Street Tunnel has become a haven for street artists.
The tradition of spraying graffiti over the short tunnel’s bare concrete walls is thought to have begun in the 1960s.
Now, almost all of it is covered by spray paint. What’s more, this isn’t a static artwork, but one that is constantly changing, meaning there’s always something new to see.
From Stockbridge the Krog Street Tunnel is roughly 30 minutes away, on the outskirts of downtown Atlanta.
Pretty nice place to walk around and enjoy some quiet reflection. Good place for a family outing. The staff were very friendly and courteous. They also offer discounts for teachers, students, and senior citizens. The weekend can get fairly hectic but the weekdays are pretty quiet. Nicely maintained and clean as well.
This park is worth a visit. If you can find parking or access to it with the crazy traffic they have now surrounded it with. I went at night it was a lot easier but seemed sketchy here with the surrounding environment/neighborhood. If you don’t feel like venturing out of the city this is a perfect place to see some folk art of the south. But you can easily visit these art environments a couple hours north or south of Atlanta, as I would suggest doing, no restrooms or sitting but well light thankfully.
Went here for a meet and greet event but the wall art and showcase of talent is great. I got a card from the live artist that was present. I plan on purchasing some of the work displayed! This place could have a better bar and vendors, and they ran out of toilet paper in the women's bathroom before the event even began. They did replenish it when told though!
Absolutely beautiful!! Great location, plenty of free parking, and they had a wonderful exhibit. What sends them over the edge is they have fun interactive activities outside while you wait to enter due to social distancing. Great experience. I was a first timer, but I'll be back.
This is one of my favorite museums in Atlanta, the staff is super friendly and super helpful. I always look at their calendar for upcoming events. Also, I really enjoy the broad spectrum of artists they exhibit/represent. The William Downs exhibition in particular was fantastic and has been stewing and bubbling within me since I first saw it. Very excited to have an artist like that being shown here in Atlanta. The Hispanic/Latinx show is also phenomenal and I can't wait to see the future series of installations of the works. I am so glad I became a member of this museum!
Paige Harvey is not only an amazing person that makes everyone who visits her studio feel welcome, she is also an amazingly talented artist. She draws inspiration from her travels around the globe and brings her experience to life on huge canvases with rich color, complicated patterns and textured impasto that somehow conveys a message while nearly expressing a call to action. They are glimpses of animals in their natural habitats, doing what they do-. Whether they are persevering against the encroachment of man or frolicking in nature is left up to you to decide. What is clear, however, is that these paintings combine multiple different techniques and layers upon layers of abstract expression that are as dynamic and free-spirited as the artist herself. Paige Harvey Art Studio is a must-see during the Central Atlanta Progress First Thursday Art Walk in downtown Atlanta.
I do my best to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. I last updated it in November 2024. If you know of a street art that should be on the list, let me know. Click here to contact me. Thanks!
