Uncategorized Atlanta BeltLine call for artists
Posted by Debbie Michaud @DebsMichaud on Thu, Feb 4, 2010 at 9:35 PM
A new, temporary public art initiative along the BeltLine is underway for 2010. From May-October this year, visual and performance art will decorate nearly eight miles of BeltLine-to-be, designated for the time being as a hiking/biking trail. Deadline for entries is March 12, 4 p.m.
From the BeltLine's website:
A kick-off arts event staged from late spring through summer will celebrate the reawakening of the old rail corridor as Atlanta’s new public realm. Visual arts, performing arts and historic site interpretation will direct the public’s attention to this amazing resource that encircles downtown Atlanta, thus increasing the level of awareness and fostering a sense of ownership to ensure that the BeltLine becomes a truly public amenity....Visual and performing artists are invited to submit proposals for temporary works of visual and performing art to be a part of this May through October event. Potential projects should reflect the historic, environmental, cultural, functional, urban design, and/or aesthetic parameters of the sites and should be well-researched, well-planned and feasible.
Visual arts folks should contact WonderRoot's Chris Appleton: chris@wonderroot.org, 404-254-5955; performance artists send your proposals to Priscilla Smith at Eyedrum:
priscillagaysmith@gmail.com, 404-522-0655.
