Public art is the focus of a number of communities in North Fulton County seeking to reap aesthetic and economic development benefits.
“Art, including public art, drives economic and social prosperity,” said Rochelle Mucha, chair and founder of Roswell Arts Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that collaborates with the city of Roswell and raises funds to increase the city’s public art inventory and initiatives.
This organization’s initiatives include ArtAround Roswell where, in partnership with the city, it hosts 10 established works of art on loan to the city by their artists for display in selected parks from April through December.
