What is a Public Art Master Plan?

Public art helps to define a city by honoring its history, celebrating its culture, and creating rich experiences for residents and visitors alike. Art activates spaces and invigorates commerce—and brings smiles and inspiration to folks of all ages, day in and day out.

Roswell Arts Fund was contracted by the City of Roswell to develop a strategic plan and community-wide vision for how public art can be integrated into the framework of the city of Roswell.

IGNITE. INSPIRE. IMPACT.

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.
