Art lovers in Roswell have met a $10,000 challenge to acquire “Sentience,” one of 10 pieces in the 2017 ArtAround Roswell sculpture tour, to add to the city’s permanent collection of public art.
The work, by Atlanta artist David Landis, will now remain in the Heart of Roswell Park on Canton Street, according to a Roswell Arts Fund announcement. The acquisition results from the group’s “Keep the Art!” campaign, to match a $10,000 challenge grant from the Roswell Downtown Development Authority.
Roswell Arts Fund, an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded to strengthen the scope of public arts in the city and to champion the ability of the arts to excite the imagination, strengthen public places, and encourage conversation.
As the designated Art Agency for the City of Roswell since 2015, RAF leads the implementation of public art initiatives as directed by the City and defined by the City’s Imagine Roswell Arts and Culture 2030 Study and the Public Art Master Plan.
