Community-backed art

Community-backed art in Atlanta is being advanced through a coalition of institutions, developers and public agencies, according to a report dated Wednesday, June 24. In South Downtown, Karen Anderson Singer unveiled four new Tiny Doors ATL installations this month, her highest number at once, designed to encourage visitors to stay, walk and look. The initiative was made possible by partner support focused on neighborhood culture. In Buckhead, Hopeton St. Clair Hibbert Jr. opened the solo show “The Weight and the Witness” at the Chastain Arts Center, with the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs helping provide the platform. The show runs through Aug. 22, and an October residency at McColl Center in Charlotte is already planned. The article also references additional art events around late June into July.
