This just in from the Decatur Arts Alliance and Flux Projects…
Images of a running zebra will flash across the Decatur streetscape on Friday evening, September 24. After making its journey through Decatur, the zebra image will be projected on the front of the Decatur Court building at 315 W. Ponce de Leon Ave. for 30-45 minutes on Friday night.

The artistic installment, Lima Lives!, honors and celebrates the life and spirit of Lima, the zebra that escaped from Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus last winter and made a mad dash through downtown Atlanta. For nearly an hour, this courageous animal managed to break free of his circus routine and run wild in the streets of Atlanta. Riffing on the excitement of multiple sightings of him that day, Lima Lives! will roam Atlanta at night.
The project premieres in Decatur and features nightly projections around Atlanta culminating October 1 in Castleberry. Lima Lives! is presented by Flux Projects, a non-profit arts organization that commissions and presents temporary public art projects for large audiences beyond the walls of traditional arts venues.
I’m trying to figure out best viewing spots.
I am not sure of the actual zebra route through Decatur but he will ultimately end up on the Decatur Court building. I’ll see if they have any more details!
