Pops of color and light continue to brighten up Atlanta as part of a growing light-up-downtown initiative.

Introduced in 2017, Arts & Entertainment Atlanta, or AE Atlanta, aims to fuse “new media, local art, and performance with advertising to fund cultural and public space programming in the city’s core,” per AE Atlanta officials.

What that translates to is light projections, glowing billboards, murals, and other forms of signage throughout downtown, as well as parts of Vine City and Castleberry Hill.
