Who We're Looking For

We're seeking a civic-minded artist who feels a strong connection to Sandy Springs, whether you're a resident, someone who works here, or an artist who regularly spends time in the community. You don't need to be a professional or have a formal title. What matters most is your creative vision and your connection to the spirit of this place.

We welcome proposals from individuals across a wide range of disciplines, painters, multimedia artists, visual artists, and more. If you have a compelling idea for a piece that reflects the identity, history, or future of Sandy Springs in a meaningful way, we want to hear from you.

We're especially interested in artists who:

  1. Bring a thoughtful, community-centered perspective to their work

  2. Are inspired by the unique character and stories of Sandy Springs

  3. May not have traditional art-world credentials but have a clear artistic voice

Whether you're emerging, established, or somewhere in between, we encourage you to share your ideas.
