Discover Atlanta’s heartbeat at Centennial Yards. Visitors to Downtown are invited to explore an immersive art installation that lights up 20 acres with vibrant bands of LEDs, including pulsating red hearts, as they experience Heartbeat_ATL. Projected throughout the space on artwork and nearby bridges and buildings, the installation pays tribute to Atlanta’s zero mile-marker and celebrates the heart of the city which is undergoing a major transformation.
Heartbeat_ATL takes place now from 7-11 pm nightly through March 4, 2022, in and around Centennial Yards, at 1 Centennial Olympic Park Drive NW, Atlanta, GA 30303. The experience is free and open to the public. Visitors can access and interact with the artwork on their mobile devices by clicking on QR Codes posted along streets and bridges surrounding Mercedes Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena, or by going to the website: heartbeatatl.com/.
Featured artwork at Heartbeat_ATL is Let Go & Grow, an immersive mural beneath the MLK Jr. Drive SW bridge, which can be accessed from Alabama & Forsyth Streets SW. Images of the artwork can also be seen enveloping train cars as they run past. Designed by ARRRTADDICT and Protect Awesome, the 600-square foot rainbow world incorporates African diasporic art and speaks to personal and collective growth. The leopard pattern signifies the wild, beautiful, bold act of courageous revolution and monstera leaves and palms reference the area’s thriving future community and green space.
