Annual Community Arts Collaborative: Project Proposals

We are seeking proposals for unique and spectacular large-scale arts community projects that serve as a large scale art pieces students from across Fulton County can help bring to life. Our Project Team will work with the winning Project Designers to translate their designs into the context of art. The precision of craft, skill, and imaginative thinking are paramount in our projects and the work of our staff, community artists and students!
