WEST END ATLANTA

 

 

 Southwest Beltline Trail Phase 2 (White Street)

Call for Artists 

The City of Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs Public Art Program (OCA/PAP), Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. and Councilperson Cleta Winslow (District 4) are seeking proposals from artists or artist teams to paint an imaginative, site specific mural on White Street under the Langhorn Street bridge in Atlanta, Georgia. The mural design should be created after dialogue with stakeholders and the surrounding neighborhood. The projected budget for artwork is $26,000.

    The mural will be located on White Street under the  Langhorn Street bridge. This is in the southwest section of Atlanta and the BeltLine. The closest physical address is 1070 White Street. The wall is a 17' x 159' concrete underpass. The street is largely unpopulated except for a few businesses on the opposite side of the street.  The BeltLine is one of the most comprehensive economic development efforts ever undertaken in the City of Atlanta and the largest, most wide-ranging urban redevelopment currently underway in the U.S. It will combine greenspace, trails, transit and new development along 22 miles of historic rail segments that encircle the urban core of Atlanta. The BeltLine will pass through the eastern edge of the Westview neighborhood on White Street. White Street is where the Model Mile construction began at the beginning of this year. It will travel towards Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard and along Muse Street. This walking path will feature greenery, park space, and an arboretum. A street car station is proposed for the intersection of Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard., Langhorn Street, and Cascade Avenue.
The deadline for applying is November 26, 2008 at 5 p.m. The OCA/PAP and the Atlanta Beltline, Inc. will convene a stakeholders' committee to assist with the selection process where proposals will be judged on artistic quality, context, feasibility.
