The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) public art program, Artbound, proudly presents a new collaborative project from LostintheLetters and Maite Nazario, 2025 Artist-in-Residence at the Public Art Futures Lab.

MARTA riders are encouraged to use their time on trains and buses to respond to weekly creative writing prompts from Atlanta-based nonprofit LostintheLetters. A new prompt will be released every Monday between August 4 and September 22.

Prompts can be accessed by scanning QR codes at select MARTA stations or by visiting Instagram @marta_artbound. Each week, one selected entry will be turned into an animation by Maite Nazario and shared online. Selected writers will receive a 10-trip Breeze card, and all submissions will be published at lostintheletters.org.
