Introducing the 2026 Art Collective

Atlanta United has long celebrated the culture and creativity that surrounds our club and our city. From the stands to the streets of Atlanta, artists continually shape the identity of our community.  

The 2026 Art Collective is a program created to highlight and feature Atlanta based artists as guest designers, each creating a soccer scarf inspired by a key cultural celebration.  

We have selected artists based across cultural moments which include Black History Month, Pride, AAPI Heritage Month, each design will bring together the artist’s story, Atlanta’s culture, and the spirit of Atlanta United. 

Four artists. Four cultural moments. One city. Meet the first class of the 2026 Art Collective: 

• George F. Baker – Black History Month Scarf  

• Neha Patel – AAPI Month Scarf 

• Arrrtaddict – Latin Heritage Month Scarf  

• Verations –  Pride Scarf

While we welcome the world in 2026, we also want to spotlight the artists who continue to shape our city.  

The artists selected for this collective represent more than creative talent. They are deeply connected to Atlanta and these purpose driven moments. Their ability to authentically interpret and design within a cultural moment, bringing forward perspectives that reflect both personal identity and the broader spirit of the city. 

Each design weaves together the artist’s story, Atlanta’s culture, and the spirit of Atlanta United, resulting in a collection that is both meaningful and uniquely representative to the city and the artist.
