Meet the organizers behind the public art activations that welcomed the globe for world cup.

More than seventy-five artists were commissioned to create public works in Atlanta to prepare the city for the World Cup. The “Home Team” Exhibition at Gallery FC celebrates Atlanta's muralists as the starting lineup: the talent that showed up, did the work, and made sure the city looked like itself when the world arrived.

Dozens of organizers, curators, and artists worked behind the scenes to coordinate artists for murals across the city.

Join the administrators behind these projects for a conversation about the invisible labor of public art—balancing conditions with creativity, supporting artists through complex commissions, and imagining the standards and infrastructure needed for a thriving public art ecosystem.

Presented as a preview of Living Walls' upcoming conference, this discussion asks not only how these projects came together, but how we build stronger conditions for artists and organizers in the future.

Presented by Downtown Atlanta Inc., in partnership with Living Walls, ASHA Advisory and Art In The Paint, Gallery FC hosts Atlanta. Free and open to the public.
