Atlanta –Art on the Atlanta BeltLine has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for artists to solicit outdoor, temporary works of art for presentation on the Atlanta BeltLine in the fall of 2014. The upcoming exhibition represents Art on the Atlanta BeltLine’sfifth year in presenting visual and performing art on more than eight miles of the Atlanta BeltLine corridor. Art on the Atlanta BeltLine kicks off on Saturday, September 6, 2014 with the annual Atlanta BeltLine Lantern Parade.

Potential projects should reflect the historic, environmental, cultural, functional, urban design, and/or aesthetic aspects of the sites and should be well-researched, well-planned and feasible. Potential projects could include sculptures, murals, music, dance, theater, performance art, amenities for visitors, planting or environmental works, and more. Artists are encouraged to submit proposals that marry their artistic visions with the landscape and sustainability themes of the Atlanta BeltLine. See previously funded projects at art.beltline.org.

The submission deadline is April 21, 2014. The RFP is available for download from art.beltline.org and will also be available for submission through callforentry.org. Electronic submission is available immediately.

Installation will begin in June and projects must be installed by the opening of the exhibition on September 6, 2014.

Since 2010, Art on the Atlanta BeltLine has showcased the dynamic installations and performances of established and emerging artists along the east and west corridors of the Atlanta BeltLine. The exhibition is an inspiring way to explore this emerging system of parks, trails, transit, and development that reclaims a 22-mile loop of historic rail lines around the City’s core. Since its inception, the exhibition has grown more than 40 percent, and last September’s Lantern Parade kicked off the 2013 exhibition by drawing more than 10,000 participants to the Eastside Trail. See completed trails and explore current art locations on our interactive map: www.beltline.org/map.
