Atlanta Beltline Art Presents: 2026 ATL StyleWriters JamAtlanta Beltline Art Presents: 2026 ATL StyleWriters Jam

Atlanta Beltline Art is celebrating the city’s long-standing graffiti and stylewriting legacy with the return of ATL StyleWriters Jam, a weekend-long convening of more than 30 artists who will transform four sites along the Beltline into live canvases. 

The event showcases the evolution of the scene’s culture as artists create new installations, from sketch to final paint in real time, along the Beltline trail. The live sessions will feature some of the founders of Atlanta’s style writing scene, dating back to the early 1980s when the hip-hop movement came to Atlanta. The installations will also become a special exhibition of the Atlanta Beltline Art collection.
