There are many artistic works distributed around the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (ATL) to enjoy while you walk to your flight or during a layover or flight delay.
Before you enter the airport terminal, you will be greeted, at both the North and South Terminals, with large murals and suitcase sculptures. There are two youth galleries inside, one at the T-Gates centerpoint and another in the East Wing of Concourse E, and a wealth of other artworks awaiting your discovery throughout the complex.
Some of the Atlanta Airport Art exhibits are:
ART FROM ZIMBABWE
These sculptures can be found in the transportation tunnel between the concourses underneath the airport
The Atlanta Airport has many beautiful murals found throughout the concourses and terminal.
OUTDOOR ART
These are some of the artworks you can find outside the Airport.
OTHER AIRPORT ART
Everywhere you look when you visit the Atlanta Airport, you'll see beautiful art from around the world. Below is just a sample of the Airport's collection.
QUILTS
I don't know if this art exhibit is still around, but in August 2008 there was a post on the Painted Threads Blog about a quilt exhibit which looked pretty cool. See the pictures here: Atlanta Airport Exhibit

The Future of Art at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL)
Although, maybe you should see this art as soon as you can, because at least on exhibit may be coming down to make room for revenue generating advertising. Read the full story at Marketwatch.
