Sandy Springs is open to naming opportunities for the Performing Arts Center venue, now under construction and to open next summer in the City Springs downtown redevelopment.

“With naming opportunities, we hope to provide an avenue for individuals and companies to be connected with the project, while using those gifted funds to further programming,” said Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul.

Eighteen areas within City Springs could be eligible for naming, including the Performing Arts Center venue, the Main Theatre, Studio Theatre, Grand Lobby, Rooftop Terrace, City Green and Conference Center, officials said.

The decision to provide naming opportunities was made during a meeting of the Sandy Springs Public Facilities authority, which will have "sole discretion" over names. "All naming requests will be considered based on consistency with the values and standards of the city, and the named person should have ties to the community," the city said.
