MARTA Murals Are First Stop ‘En Route’ To Neighborhood Change

Audio version of this story

New murals will soon adorn walls at four different MARTA stations. In a city increasingly decorated with public art, this may not seem like such a big deal. But those behind the En Route project say the murals are just the start of a series of improvements that will integrate art, community, and transit in Atlanta.

The first station to get the mural treatment will be King Memorial Station, in Atlanta’s Sweet Auburn District.
