We hope you are enjoying all of the events for ELEVATE: 50 Years of Culture!
We’re kicking off week four with the 50 Years of Culture Memorabilia Virtual Gallery Exhibition on view now through October 13th. This digital exhibition pays tribute to the founding of the Bureau of Cultural Affairs during Mayor Maynard Jackson’s historic first term, highlighting its profound impact on Atlanta’s cultural development.
Then, join us on Friday, October 11th, at 10:00 AM in Grant Park for the Ryan Gander Unveiling. Councilmember Jason Winston and The Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs invite you to experience Things Just Happened to Him, a striking new sculpture by internationally acclaimed contemporary artist Ryan Gander. Installed just outside the Grant Park parking garage on Boulevard, this artwork is the latest addition to Atlanta’s public art collection, made possible by the Renew Atlanta Infrastructure Bond’s Landmark Public Art initiative.
Finally, this Sunday, October 13th at 2:00 PM, experience Reflections, an interactive art installation that delves into the power of personal stories in shaping the future of medicine. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a healthcare advocate, or simply curious, this immersive experience offers something for everyone.
All ELEVATE events are free and open to the public. Don’t miss your last chance to be part of this epic 50th anniversary celebration!
