About
In Person | Midtown and Piedmont Park FREE This Jan e ’s Walk , taking place in Midtown and Piedmont Park, focuses on themes of Art & Architecture and History & Culture. What can a playground teach us about design? Join interdisciplinary artist Felicia E. Gail and landscape planner Liza Mueller for an engaging exploration from MODA to The Noguchi Playscape in Piedmont Park, one of only two playgrounds created by the legendary sculptor Isamu Noguchi and completed in 1976. As we journey from MODA through Midtown to this hidden gem, you’ll be invited to capture your experiences with a camera, pencil, and paper. Gain insights from experts like Dr. Gaylan Williams , Atlanta's Deputy Commissioner of Park Planning and Design, and Stephen Larkworthy , the Public Art Conservation Manager for the City of Atlanta. Together, we’ll delve into Noguchi's vision, the playscape's role in the park's history, and its enduring significance as a public art piece.
