Public Art In Atlanta

The Office of Cultural Affairs is dedicated to exposing and expanding Atlanta's Public Art by working with other government, civic, and corporate agencies to increase public awareness and access to public artworks. The City of Atlanta is home to public artworks that are a resourceful blend of government, corporate and privately commissioned works of art.


		PUBLIC ART PROGRAM The Office of Cultural Affairs' Public Art Program (OCA/PAP) is charged with administering the development and management of public art projects for the city of Atlanta.

		ATLANTA'S PUBLIC ART COLLECTION The collection features historically significant artworks by local, regional and nationally acclaimed artists. It is currently valued at more than twenty-two million dollars and supports the City of Atlanta's vision for an enriched public environment. One hundred and fourty seven permanent artworks are titled to the City of Atlanta.

		COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT A successful and enduring public art collection is a gift and legacy for generations to come. The permanence of this gift is secured by a comprehensive and detailed collections management program dedicated to existing and future artworks.

		OUTREACH & EDUCATION The Office of Cultural Affairs Public Art Program provides outreach initiatives that support art awareness within the public and private sectors.

		ARTIST REGISTRY The Public Art Program Artist Registry is a compilation of work by diverse local and regional artists. Inclusion in the registry means that the Public Art Program endorses these artists for public and private Public Art projects.
