WonderRoot’s hosting a good ol’ fashioned sign-makin’ party this Sunday at Eyedrum. What’s the occasion, you ask? Why the BeltLine of course. The proposed BeltLine will cross public rights-of-way at 108 different points throughout the city. To help raise awareness about the project, local artists (and anyone else who’s interested in participating) will gather at 1 p.m. this Sun., June 28 at Eyedrum (280 MLK Drive) to make art signs to place at each of the locations. “Later in the week, WonderRoot artists and volunteers will work throughout the night placing the art at each of the 108 locations,” says the e-mail from WonderRoot co-founder Chris Appleton.
More from Appleton:
“Artists, like most residents of Atlanta, are excited about the BeltLine,” said Chris Appelton, co-founder of WonderRoot. “Yet it seems that most people don’t know how transformative this project will be. It’s our hope that people will get up and go to work next week and see for themselves where the BeltLine will be. Additionally, the city will be full of original public art.”
