Atlanta is set to welcome a new hub for creativity as painter and muralist Artsy Elaine and multimedia artist Sway Jones announce the opening of Art Station ATL. The new residency will officially launch on October 25, coinciding with Atlantic Station’s 20th anniversary celebration.
Art Station ATL will occupy a 1,541-square-foot studio and gallery located at 1380 Atlantic Drive, Suite 14100. The space is designed to function as both a working studio and a public venue, where the artists aim to create an immersive experience that feels dynamic and engaging. The artists advocate for the essential role of art in contemporary society, emphasizing the sentiment that art is increasingly important in today’s times.
Artsy Elaine has already made her mark at Atlantic Station with several existing murals, including eight flower carts, two large-scale wall murals, and a colorful parking-garage entrance. Sway Jones contributes pop-inspired portraits and murals at notable locations such as Mercedes-Benz Stadium and has partnered with major sports teams including the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United FC. Additionally, Jones has developed a paint line called Sway Acrylics, available at the High Museum of Art, Brown Toy Box, and soon at Walmart.

The leadership at Atlantic Station views Art Station ATL as an important project that integrates art into the daily lives of the community. Giovanni Silva, the general property manager at Atlantic Station, emphasized that Art Station ATL aims to be a place that not only displays art but also allows people to experience it on a deeper level.
