ArtAround Roswell Sculptures

Enhance the aesthetic appeal, interest, and experience of residents and visitors. Introduce Fine Arts to a broader population and more specifically activate and advance the discussion on Public Art. Actualize the City of Roswell's vision/brand to be a "premier riverside community connecting strong neighborhoods and the entrepreneurial spirit" a city that is both modern as well as steeped in history. Actualize recommendations of the Imagine Roswell Arts & Culture 2030 study, completed in 2015, and our Roswell Public Art Master Plan, completed in 2017. Leverage the river, parks and downtown areas and their frequent visitors. Provide events to engage and energize the community. Build collaboration between the various Roswell City departments, commissions, boards, business and civic organizations.

For every public art installation, Roswell Arts Fund releases a Request for Proposal.(RFP) that includes detailed information about the upcoming project and invites qualified artists to submit their proposals. Once received, a Public Art Selection Panel to review and evaluate the submissions. This panel is comprised of diverse Roswell stakeholders including business, civic and community leaders, and art professionals. One person will act as a Conservator who will assess the materials, design, and site location, and how they relate to installation and maintenance costs. The Public Art Selection Panel will seek to choose a well-balanced and diverse exhibition of sculptures with a variety of styles, types, and sizes.
