If you like Ponce City Market on Instagram, there’s a good change your handle is emblazoned on a giant mural there — along with 99,999 others.
The popular mixed-use development commissioned a handwritten mural with the username of each of its first 100,000 followers.
Students from Atlanta’s Portfolio Center drew the mural on the walls and windows of Atlanta Gallery Collective, a pop-up art gallery on the second floor of the market’s Central Food Hall. The mural is only on view through the holidays — so better start combing it for your name now.
