The Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs recently unveiled an exciting new addition to Atlanta’s public art collection: Things Just Happened to Him by renowned UK artist Ryan Gander. This striking sculpture now has a permanent home in Grant Park, adding a fresh cultural landmark to the city.
The piece was acquired through the Renew Atlanta Infrastructure Bond’s Landmark Public Art initiative, a program designed to make world-class public art accessible to all Atlantans. By bringing works from nationally and internationally acclaimed artists into the city’s public spaces, the initiative enriches the cultural landscape for residents and visitors alike.
