The Atlanta BeltLine Partnership for Art on the Atlanta BeltLine will receive a portion of the National Endowment for the Arts first major funding for fiscal year 2019, according to a press release. Earlier this week NEA approved more than $27 million in grants for nonprofits. Included in this award is an Art Works grant of $10,000.
Art Works is the Arts Endowment’s principal grantmaking program. The agency received 1,605 Art Works applications for this round of grantmaking, and will award 972 grants in this category.
“The arts enhance our communities and our lives, and we look forward to seeing these projects take place throughout the country, giving Americans opportunities to learn, to create, to heal, and to celebrate,” said Mary Anne Carter, acting chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts.
“The Atlanta BeltLine Partnership appreciates the generous support of the National Endowment for the Arts,” said ABP Executive Director Rob Brawner. “Art on the Atlanta BeltLine provides access to public art for everyone and is representative of the broad public/private partnerships that are necessary to bring the Atlanta BeltLine vision to life. We’d also like to thank Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. (ABI) for their leadership and vision in creating what has become the south’s largest temporary public art exhibition and one of Atlanta’s most popular public art events.”
Art on the Atlanta BeltLine is the largest outdoor temporary public art exhibition in the history of Atlanta and the largest in the South. It showcases the work of hundreds of visual artists, performers, musicians, lecturers, and art historians along the Atlanta BeltLine corridor.
