Elevate

In 2011 and 2012 Elevate featured 30 projects supporting performing, visual and/or digital art, presented by artists and organizations. Over the past two years, more than 300 local, national and international artists have exhibited within Downtown Atlanta’s public spaces as Elevate projects. With mediums ranging from contemporary dance to neighborhood mural projects, Elevate continually looks for projects that heighten the visual experience and support community involvement in Downtown Atlanta. The walk able blocks of Central Downtown Atlanta are perfectly suited for artwork viewership, cultural events and a rich and thriving creative community.
