2022 ATL VOTE TREE

Nov. 27, 2022 – In GA’s 2nd Senate Runoff, VoteTree’s interactive art installation served as the backdrop for Sen. Raphael Warnock’s Souls to the Polls rally with Martin Luther King III, Henrietta Antoninin, Mayor Andre Dickens, and Andrew Young.

The first day of statewide early voting was the largest in-person early voting day in Georgia’s history.

Georgia’s beloved civil rights leader Hosea Williams would have turned 95 on Jan 5th, the day Georgians voted in a historic Senate runoff.

In the six weeks leading up to the election, an interactive, non-partisan, exclusively positive public art installation took root at Atlanta’s iconic Hosea mural.

Vote Tree’s live art + music activation featured local emergent artists, particularly women and underrepresented voices. The exuberant 250′ murallage was featured across news outlets and social media, including Raphael Warnock’s Instagram post the day before the election and the opening frames of the Season 6 premiere of Showtime’s The Circus.
