Atlanta Legacy Makers

OVERVIEW

Atlanta Legacy Makers is a public commemoration of Atlanta’s inheritance exemplified by two Atlanta mayors, Ivan Allen Jr. and Maynard Jackson. The effort aims to embrace the legacy that Atlantans—now and next—are charged to carry forward.

ART AND ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT

Central Atlanta Progress, in partnership with the City of Atlanta, is launching an open competition for commission of an exciting project at the nexus of Atlanta’s beating heart, Woodruff Park.

This project will honor the legacy of our past, it will provide aspiration for our future, and it will activate our present. It will do so by:

• Creating a monument to honor the legacy of two pivotal Atlanta mayors: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. and Mayor Maynard Jackson,Jr.
• Commissioning a landmark artwork by a contemporary artist who aspires to Dr. King’s vision of Beloved Community as fervently as Atlantans do.
• Reimagining the public space on the north side of Woodruff Park, considering how the plaza meets the street at both Peachtree Street and Auburn Avenue, as well as how the space can be utilized for this project and other public activations and gatherings.

PROCESS

Proposals will be reviewed by the Atlanta Legacy Makers Curatorial Committee. The Curatorial Committee will identify up to three (3) proposals to advance. Central Atlanta Progress will award $5,000 stipends for teams selected for this second round. We encourage assembling a team inclusive of artists, architects, designers, and urbanists.

Successful teams will be experienced in all three physical aspects of this project: creating historical narrative in public space, integrating artwork by working closely with a contemporary artist, and renovating the plaza as a part of the comprehensive project. The Curatorial Committee may recommend partnerships among individual proposals upon review.

Total Project budget: $3,000,000
