In reference to the fact that the city will be hosting the Super Bowl next year, he tweeted Monday that the NFL should take advantage of Atlanta’s musical heritage by spotlighting the area’s rap talent.
“@NFL you have the opportunity to celebrate incredible Hip Hop Artist from Atlanta Next year,” he tweeted.

The Atlanta Beltline winds through some of the most picturesque areas of the city. And no wonder, since it is one of the most celebrated civic projects in the nation. And it’s about to get a lot more beautiful.
The Beltline is currently requesting proposals for Art on the Atlanta BeltLine’s ninth year. Artists are asked to submit to have their work displayed in the annual temporary exhibition along the Beltline’s many parks and trails.

Signaling a deeper commitment to the community, this year’s exhibition will have a more local flavor.
“The vision for Art on the Atlanta BeltLine 2018 will break with the traditional template of prior exhibitions,” Miranda Kyle, Beltline Arts and Culture program manager, said in a statement. “We intend to be responsive to our Atlanta BeltLine communities, building on the strength of Atlanta’s rich history and culture and reflecting the intersectionality of Atlanta’s diverse art scene.”
Artists, professionals and collectives are encouraged to submit works that are well-researched and relevant. Here are the components of the exhibition open to artists, as written by the Beltline:
- Atlanta BeltLine Walls – A two-week-long mural festival at the beginning of August. Artists will work on their walls side by side for the duration of the festival, culminating in a grand reveal and community celebration at the end of the festival.
- Performance Series – Artists are invited to perform along the Atlanta BeltLine corridor throughout the timeframe of the exhibition. These performances are not limited in number of times the performances may occur, nor are they subject to any specific dates on which performances must occur. These are designed to act as a pop-up style events to creatively activate and celebrate the corridor in many locations.
- Atlanta BeltLine Concert Series – Unlike its pop-up style counterpart, these may take place in several BeltLine parks including Historic Fourth Ward Park, Gordon White Park, the multipurpose field at Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark, and Piedmont Park. The Concert Series provides opportunities for artists that have technical requirements, and those who need a fixed location. The dates for these will be: August 18th and 25th, 2018.
- Inertia – Artists and Professionals are invited to submit proposals for this year’s sculpture exhibition along the Atlanta BeltLine corridor. Sculptures may simultaneously function as a bench, pavilion, or other infrastructural component.
- Lecture Series – Artists and Professionals are invited to submit proposals for panel or individual discussion to address topics related to Arts & Culture, Ethics & Responsibility, Equity, Affordability, Science & Education, and Transit.
- Special Projects – We invite Atlanta arts and culture organizations to submit proposals that use the Atlanta BeltLine to show your work/project, host a pop-up event, and many other exciting ideas.
Proposals are due March 16, 2018. Submissions will be accepted via art.beltline.org through callforentry.org. The complete proposal and more information is available at art.beltline.org.
