The Fulton County Department of Arts & Culture assists the Fulton County Board of Commissioners in the development of public policy on public support for the arts industry, makes recommendations to Fulton County Commissioners on funding the arts, and generally oversees the development and implementation of publicly assisted programs that address the diverse cultural needs for Fulton County's citizens. The department provides grants funding for artists, non-profits and arts organizations; manages Fulton County’s Public Art Program; and provides arts instruction for children, teens and adults as well as annual cultural events through our neighborhood Arts Centers. We also organize master classes, workshops, and other training for artists and arts organizations and operate several galleries and performance venues.
