The Fulton County Arts Council (Atlanta) seeks an experienced public art 
administrator to manage its growing public art program. The program began in 
1993 when the Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved an ordinance

completed in 1995. Approximately 12-15 projects are initiated each year; some 
are multi-year projects.

throughout Fulton County; collaborating with other county departments in the 
planning of projects; working with community panels to select and to 
commission artists; drafting and monitoring artists contracts; maintaining 
program budget and processing payments; planning dedication or educational 
events related to the completion of a commission; and administering a 
collections management program for existing artwork. Additionally, the Public 
Art Coordinator is responsible for organizing the annual National Arts 
Program in Fulton County (an art competition for Fulton County employees and 
their families) and for planning a rotating exhibit in the Fulton County 
Government Center atrium. Position reports to the Deputy Director. 

Requirements: Bachelor's degree in the fine arts, art history, arts 
administration, architecture, landscape architecture, or a related field; 
master's preferred. Strong administrative and budgeting skills are essential.
