Good Fortune

By Katie DiGiovanna

Good Fortune by Katie DiGiovanna invites passersby to share small acts of kindness through colorful felt fortune cookies containing simple prompts for generosity and connection. From a small cart stationed along Peachtree Street, visitors are invited to take a cookie, discover the fortune hidden inside, and carry its message into the world through a simple act of kindness. Inspired by the idea that joy is rooted in our connections with one another, the project transforms everyday encounters into opportunities for generosity, creating ripples of happiness throughout the community.

Small Moments of Happiness

Good Fortune is part of Small Moments of Happiness, a new series designed to integrate brief but meaningful encounters with art into daily life in Atlanta.  Projects will take place along the Peachtree Street corridor (anchored from 14^th Street to 16^th Street) in summer and fall 2026, activating public spaces with temporary installations and performances.  These works will interrupt familiar routines and create shared moments of happiness among friends, neighbors, and strangers.  We hope they spark curiosity, create space for reflection, and invite us to experience the city and one another with fresh eyes.

About the Artist

As a child, I loved “choose your own adventure” books, so perhaps it’s no surprise that I still view life as an adventure shaped by curiosity, discovery, and unexpected connections. I’m Katie DiGiovanna—an Atlanta-based artist, lifelong learner, and community-minded creative. My experiences living, working, and collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds have reinforced a simple belief: our lives are enriched through connection. Creativity is how I explore the world, build relationships, and contribute to something larger than myself. Through art, I hope to create experiences that help people feel seen, connected, and a little more open to one another. To me, good fortune is found not in luck, but in the small acts of kindness that ripple outward and bring us together.  — Katie DiGiovanna
