Atlanta's own Mayor Andre Dickens is setting the stage for a blend of art and community to unveil the Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. Innovation Corridor's latest public art installations. This Wednesday, the city is set to reveal four new pieces of art, as announced by the City of Atlanta's official website—each piece intended to add a splash of creativity and inspiration to the historic street.

The unveiling will include a variety of art forms, featuring a mural, a water feature, and two sculptures, demonstrating the city's effort to both beautify and to thoughtfully reflect on the legacy of MLK. The event, led by Dickens in partnership with the Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs, marks a visual milestone for the innovation corridor and is boasted to invite media engagement.

Set to take place at the C.T. Martin Natatorium and Recreation Center right outside the Legacy Monument, the city anticipates a good turnout. Officials, including Councilmember Andrea Boone and NPU-Chairperson Eunice Glover, will join in the festivities. The executive director of the Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs, Camille Love, is also on deck for the occasion, bringing her expertise to the fore.

Interested media are encouraged hastily to RSVP, with a note to arrive by 11:00 a.m., although the ceremony kicks off at 11:30 a.m. For a detailed peek at the event or to confirm attendance, New York Post readers can navigate to the city's announcement here.
