Play Cafe mural proposal recommended for PAC grant; artist Michelle Key selected
Summary
Planning staff presented Play Cafe’s mural grant application at 4928 Buford Highway; the Public Arts Commission reviewed and approved a concept by artist Michelle Key and recommended a no‑match mural grant because the property sits in a qualified census tract.
City staff presented a Public Arts Commission mural grant application from Play Cafe for a full‑side mural visible from Buford Highway. The PAC reviewed the artist concept and recommended approval; staff noted that the site is within a qualified census tract so the applicant would be eligible for a no‑match grant if the council approves the project. Staff and council discussed measurements and ownership of the building; planning indicated the applicant is in the process of acquiring the building and will provide final ownership documentation as part of the grant/permit review.
Council members complimented the concept and asked about the exact wall area and maintenance; staff said PAC had seen the concept sketch and that final artwork will be the painted execution of that idea. The council did not oppose moving the mural grant forward for final approval in the regular meeting packet.
