Your Dream World: An Atlanta Vision Board
In February 2021 The Bakery teamed up with Prada U, Sweetie to produce Your Dream World: An Atlanta Vision Board. Through an open call, we selected 13 artists to bring their dream world to life on the gallery walls at The Bakery South Downtown. This exhibition allowed Atlanta artists to reflect on the past, and in the process, propel them towards the future.

No matter where we are in life, we all have intentions, goals, and ambitions. Humanity is bound by hope and we understand the importance of dreaming big.This vision-board style mural spanning over 40 feet long allowed the 160+ viewers to see into and be inspired by the dreams of 13 local artists.
