“Atlanta is a city long dominated by a conservative business culture and a consumer culture of contentment. These can be shallow, soulless things. Our city needs public art that engages and challenges this dominant culture. Atlanta has a rich and complex history that continues to evolve in interesting ways, and I believe public art can play an important role in that evolution.”
—Louis Corrigan, “Burnaway Interview,” 2011
