The city welcomes proposals from individuals across a wide range of disciplines. Painters, multimedia artists, visual artists, and others are invited to make a submission. The release said the city wants a thoughtful, community-centered perspective to their work, with inspiration from Sandy Springs’ unique character and stories. Artists making submissions may not have traditional art-world credentials, but must have a clear artistic voice.
