The Fulton County Arts Council seeks an experienced public art administrator

Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved an ordinance setting aside 1% of
capital projects for public art; a master plan was completed in 1995. The

implementation of the program in locations 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; planning dedication or educational events
related to the completion of a commission; and administering a collections
management program for existing artwork. Additionally, the Visual Arts
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. Requirements: bachelor's degree in the fine arts, arts
administration, architecture, landscape architecture, or a related field;
master's preferred. At least two years experience in the public art field,
administering projects or managing a program. Experience working with a public
arts agency (local, regional or state-wide) a plus. Salary: mid-$30s. For
