'Downtown Windows' initiative beautifies empty storefronts with interactive art exhibits

In Atlanta’s Downtown area, unoccupied, empty storefronts were once a common sight. Less so today, as the neighborhood has undergone radical change and reinvigoration over recent years.

To keep the energy flowing and the city’s beauty on view, “Downtown Windows,” a new initiative from Arts and Entertainment Atlanta, has identified a handful of vacant storefronts ideal for public art displays.

This year, a small group of curated artists will set up interactive exhibitions, sculpture, photography and more in these spaces.
