The Classic Atlanta Project is a Social Story-telling initiative to gather, archive and display Atlanta’s rich history through eyes and voices of the people of Atlanta. This endeavor will bring together Atlanta historians, street scholars, traditional journalists, new media voices and everyday story-tellers to public archive this multi-media snapshot of Atlanta. This project provides a rare opportunity to celebrate all of Atlanta’s neighborhood heroes, national icons, monumental challenges and unifying victories through the eyes of the people that lived it. The ones you’ve heard about and the ones you haven’t. All of them being integral to forming this magical and powerful culture.

ART IS ABOUT DISCOVERY
The feeling when you fall in love with an artist you have never heard before, taste your favorite meal for the first time, or first meeting that person that makes your heart flutter. The moment of discovery creates one of the strongest chemical reactions in the human body. New neural pathways are instantly created, forever changing you. That moment is the embryo of cultural understanding. ART is the one manifestation of human consciousness that bridges the gap between culture, gender, nationality, ethnicity and language. The I’M SO ATL Festival is creating an environment where all of our attendees have these moments.
The Atlanta Music Arts & Culture Foundation is looking for Visual Artists, Muralists, Photographers ( video and still), Poets, Designers, Music Artists and all other Creatives.
The I’M SO ATL initiative is more than a festival, it’s a movement.
A cultural shift in the Atlanta creative scene that places an emphasis on platforming Artists, Creators & Innovators and providing access and opportunities through our programs and activations.
Visual Art and Photography will be heavily represented along many aspects of Atlanta Arts culture as part of the Atlanta Music Arts and Culture Foundation’s installations.
Activating our vast network of Atlanta creatives to execute a living, breathing Art exhibit of culture & history in Piedmont Park and the city at large.
In tandem with our I’M SO ATL Artifacts Art Installations, activated in partnership with the City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation for Summer 2026, creatives will have an unprecedented opportunity to showcase Atlanta’s talent. These art activations will roll out as part of Atlanta’s World Cup 2026 celebration.
