Art in Public Places Plan
In September 2020, the City Council adopted the Sandy Springs Art In Public Places Plan to guide the growth of public art throughout the city. The Vision: To enrich the lives of the City's residents and provide extraordinary amenities to the City's businesses and visitors through cohesive and intentional investments in high-quality public art. This program will be highly accessible, celebrate the City's diversity, spur creativity, elevate brand identity and create remarkable public spaces.
ArtSS in the Open
In partnership with Art Sandy Springs, the City is host to ArtSS in the Open, a public outdoor sculpture competition at City Springs. Local, regional, and national artists are invited to make submissions for possible inclusion in this outdoor exhibit surrounding the City Green at City Springs. From each annual exhibit, the City will purchase one or more sculptures to add to its growing public art collection.
(Please note: All submissions to the ArtSS in the Open competition should be made electronically through CaFE.org via their portal (callforentry.org). Artists with inquiries can ask for information at cfe@artsandysprings.org.)
