Atlanta Regional Public Art Program

Guidelines & Grant Application

Deadline to submit is August 3, 2015
In 2014 a group of metro Atlanta civic and business leaders joined together to raise funds to create a public art program that would extend across the metro Atlanta region. The Atlanta Regional Commission’s new Atlanta Regional Public Art Program provides matching funding through a competitive grant process to help communities install public art across in their communities. Each work of art will celebrate a community’s unique identity while symbolizing the commonalities of our region.
For each cycle of funding the program will provide a unifying regional theme. In the first cycle of funding, applicants will focus on interpreting the theme: “There is ample opportunity to participate in making history in our region.” Applicants will be asked to select their artists and design a community engagement process to interpret the theme for their communities.
Eligible applicants include local governments, Community Improvement Districts, neighborhood associations, and nonprofit organizations located in the 10 county Atlanta region.
Workshops

Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend Grant Application Workshops, which will be held at the Atlanta Regional Commission offices at 40 Courtland Street, Atlanta GA, 30303 on June 18th and July 16th at 2pm.

Workshops will include technical assistance for:


    • Additional local match funding sources for public art

    • Meaningful community engagement strategies, provided by WonderRoot

    • Navigating public art ordinances and how to document local jurisdictional support.

    • Grant application assistance.

Atlanta Regional Public Art Program

Grant Application

Deadline to submit is August 3, 2015
Inspired by the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, the nation’s largest mural program, a group of Atlanta leaders joined together to raise funds to create a regional public art program in the Atlanta region.
The Atlanta Regional Public Art Program provides matching funding through a competitive grant process to help communities install public art across the 10 County Metro Atlanta Region. The program aims to facilitate making beautiful and collaborative public art, creating meaningful community engagement opportunities in public spaces, and supporting a regional identity. Each work will celebrate a community’s unique identity while symbolizing commonalities of our region.
For each cycle of funding, the program will provide a unifying regional theme. Participating organizations will select their artists and design a community engagement process to interpret the theme for their communities. The Atlanta Regional Commission will provide training and technical assistance to support the collaborative public art process.
Projects should seek to convene a community to discuss a particular value statement with an artist participant, with the artist participant developing a piece of public art reflecting the community response to that statement in some way.
The shared value the program seeks to elevate in 2015 is: Atlantans share the belief that there is ample opportunity to participate in making history in our region.

Eligible applicants include local governments, Community Improvement Districts, neighborhood associations and nonprofit organizations from the Atlanta region. Applications are due on August 3, 2015.

Grant workshops will be held at the Atlanta Regional Commission June 18th and July 16th at 2pm.
