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.
