June 1-July 31 — “The South Got Something to Say” art exhibition: Borrowed from Andre 3000’s prophetic, 1990s-era proclamation, “The South Got Something to Say” is the second in a series of open-air exhibitions activating digital billboards throughout the Arts and Entertainment District of Atlanta. Presented by the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District and curated by Karen Comer Lowe, the digital exhibit — featuring work by acclaimed artists like Sheila Pree Bright, Fahamu Pecou, Shanequa Gaye and many more — is a “visual celebration of those enriching creators who are contributing to the everchanging footprint of the Atlanta Cultural community.” Free. Various Downtown locations. More info: aeatlanta.com.
