Closing Reception:
New Acquisitions
Showcasing City of Atlanta Recent Art Purchases
During the Pandemic, The Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs (OCA) understood that the best way to support artists was to support their artistry. After promoting a public call for submissions, we received overwhelming responses from each creative category. We convened expert panels to select a final list of poets, short story writers, photographers, painters, and choreographers for the creation of new works and the purchase of existing works. The exhibition New Acquisitions highlights the works of art that are now part of the City of Atlanta’s permanent art collection. Eventually, each of these works will be displayed in public spaces owned and administered by the City of Atlanta.
Guests are required to follow City COVID and social distancing protocol.
Closing Reception will be held on Wednesday, December 8th from 5:30 – 7:30 PM
