FREE ENTRY / Athens-Clarke County - Call for Public Art: Linnentown Lane

The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County (ACCGov) invites professional artists to submit qualifications for consideration for public art on Linnentown Lane in Athens, Georgia. The selected artist(s) will work with stakeholders and government staff to create public art that enhances the project and complements the selected site. A suitable public art installation will be a sculpture of landmark-scale, viewable from the road. This sculpture will serve as a visual icon of the injustice that occurred at the site of the Linnentown community in the name of urban renewal. The work of art will capture the beauty and joy of life in Linnentown, but also speak to the harm enacted on the people of Linnentown, the pain they experienced in their displacement and the legacy their descendants have inherited.
