Check it out! Phase 2 of installation is complete on the new art installation suspended over the Commercial Row Commons plaza space at Peachtree Street and Peachtree Place.
The work, titled “Avenues of Engagement,” is more than just Instagrammable eye candy. It’s an invitation to explore our sense of identity and belonging.
“Avenues of Engagement” delves into themes of connection and community through public art.
“These networks embody the intricacy of connectivity in a tangible and engaging way. Networks encompass much more than physical infrastructure, they reflect the pulse of communities, their rich ecologies, and the endless possibilities that they hold.”
