ATLANTA — The city of Atlanta’s Office of Cultural Affairs announced an award $50,000 in grants for the development of the Atlanta BeltLine Arts and Culture Strategic Implementation Plan from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
NEA Chairman Jane Chu announced 69 Our Town awards totaling almost $5 million through the “Our Town” program’s fifth year of funding. The grant program supports creative placemaking projects that help to transform communities into lively, beautiful, and resilient places with the arts at their core.
“We are thrilled to receive this award,” said Camille Russell Love, OCA executive director. “The facilities, partnerships and programs developed as a result of the implementation plan will add to the Atlanta BeltLine’s identity as a creative place, improving the quality of life for citizens throughout the region and driving continued economic development through the arts.”

OCA will partner with Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. and Metropolitan Public Art Coalition to develop a long range implementation strategy for arts and culture along the Atlanta BeltLine through engagement with the Atlanta arts community. The plan will enable strategic and coordinated development of cultural facilities and programs alike.
“The City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs demonstrates the best in creative community development – work that will have a valuable impact on its community,” said Chairman Chu. “Through Our Town funding, arts organizations continue to spark vitality that supports neighborhoods and public spaces, enhancing a sense of place for residents and visitors alike.”
