Woodruff Park Launches New Public Art Program

June 11,2019

On June 7, Downtown Atlanta's Woodruff Park hosted an unveiling of a new public arts program, ArtSwap ATL.

Local artists Donna Howell (@70dot), Rory Hawkins (@catlanta), Kandus Johnson (@kandusjohnson), Ayanna Smith (@art.by.ayanna) of TILA Studios, and Evil Twin Brother (@eviltwinbrother) were invited to design the program's five inaugural mailboxes, unveiled at the June 7 event. Each box encourages visitors to "take art and leave art."

The program was imagined by local high school students, inspired by Atlanta's "Free Art Friday" movement and the nationwide "Little Free Library" movement, and implemented with the support of Spark Corps, the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District, and Southwest Airlines.
