City launches artist registry tied to 1% for art program to connect artists with local businesses
Summary
Staff announced an artist registry to support the city's 1% for art initiative; the registry accepts applications from regional artists for large‑scale works (murals, sculptures, landscape art) and requires applicants to meet two of four narrative criteria.
As part of the city update, staff said the 1% for art program launched in October and an accompanying artist registry is now open to applications. The registry is intended to connect businesses that want murals, sculptures or other large‑scale work with local and regional artists; applicants are asked to meet two of four stated criteria in their submission.
Gosta encouraged committee members to promote the registry in their networks. Committee members asked about whether residency in Johns Creek or Georgia was required; staff said there is no residency restriction but the application asks for city/state so the city can filter for local applicants if desired.
