For the Love of Graffiti: The Krog Street Tunnel & Cabbagetown's Arts Ecosystem
This Jane’s Walk, taking place in Cabbagetown, focuses on themes of Art & Architecture, History & Culture.
What makes public art stick?
Join Curt Jackson for a walk through what he calls the Cabbagetown Arts Ecosystem: the collection of public art along a one-mile stretch of Wylie Avenue.
From the Reynoldstown Style Writing murals to the Forward Warrior murals, Stacks Squares, and the Krog Street Tunnel, each site on this route is connected to the others and to the neighborhood around it.
Along the way, Curt will share the history of the tunnel, introduce the local artist scene, and demonstrate the documentation and archiving process his team uses to preserve it all.
Begin and end at Little's Food Store, 98 Carroll St SE, Atlanta, GA 30312
