Marietta Main Street is proud to offer a new effort in 2022 to support the investments of downtown building and business owners into public art. Art Local will match dollars of up to $1,500 or 50% for interior and exterior art projects on downtown buildings.
Art Local funds will further bolster the downtown arts scene and encourage more private property owners to partner with local artists and invest in art projects for their own businesses and buildings. The initial funds for Art Local are provided by Marietta Community Foundation as part of their 2021 Fall Grant Cycle. Grant funds in the amount of $4,225 were brought together through multiple advised funds held at Marietta Community Foundation.
Eligible projects include interior and exterior public art projects, such as murals, sculptures, memorials, integrated architectural or landscape architectural work, or community art. Only projects that partner with local artist(s), as defined by a 90-mile radius, will be considered, and each project submitted should increase the value of a building, business, and/or the creative economy downtown. Funds will not be awarded for commercial signage or advertising through Art Local.
Art Local grant applications must be submitted in full no later than May 30th, 2022
All projects must be complete and final reimbursement materials submitted no later than November 1, 2022
All applications must be submitted via email only to info@mariettamainstreet.org
