Aerotropolis Atlanta: ‘Blueprint’ Charts Course for Airport Area’s Growth

Public Art's Bold Brushstrokes Inspire Metro Atlanta Communities
Can public art improve and enliven the experience of transit riders in Atlanta? That's the goal of MARTA's En Route project. Atlanta artist Fahamu Pecou's striking mural at the King Memorial MARTA station is the first completed mural in the project. It was created with the help of funds from the Atlanta Regional Public Art Program.
