In less than 200 days, visitors from around the world will enjoy more than sports when they pour into Atlanta for Super Bowl 53. The city’s history and united spirit will be on full display through an artistic project called Off the Wall. Created by the City of Atlanta, the Super Bowl Host Committee and nonprofit WonderRoot, 30 murals will showcase Atlanta’s dedication to civil and human rights, with each piece unveiled one by one before the big game in February 2019. Spread throughout the city, the murals will highlight stories, issues and the progress of Atlanta’s communities. AJC digital intern, Tara Subramaniam, sat down with one of the painters and the executive director of WonderRoot to discuss the inspiration behind the initiative and its intended long-lasting legacy on our city. Plus, host Shane Harrison shares things to do during the next 10 days, including the Piedmont Park Arts Festival. For more on the AJC's Super Bowl coverage, check out ajc.com/53.
