The Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs and the Mayor’s Office of International and Immigrant Affairs are proud to announce the official unveiling of “Old Tunes Awaken the Young Spirit,” a breathtaking mural created by internationally acclaimed Lagos-based artist Chinemerem Omeh.
Located at the corner of Peachtree Street and Decatur Street SE in Five Points, this vibrant artwork celebrates the 50th anniversary of Atlanta’s sister-city relationship with Lagos, Nigeria. The mural, which was featured in this year’s ELEVATE public art festival, reflects the shared history and cultural connections that unite our cities.
This project exemplifies the power of art to foster global unity and cultural exchange, serving as a dynamic symbol of our continued partnership with Lagos. Special thanks to Invest Atlanta for their generous support in bringing this meaningful vision to life.
We invite you to visit the mural and celebrate this milestone in Atlanta’s international journey. Here’s to 50 years of connection, collaboration, and creativity—and many more to come!
