Fulton County Arts & Culture is seeking proposals from local artists for the 2025 Public Art Futures Lab Artists-In-Residence Program. This is the fourth year of the groundbreaking program, which provides support for artists exploring the intersection of art and technology.

The three-month residency invites artists to explore themes of public engagement, digital innovation, and community transformation. In partnership with ATL DTN and MARTA Artbound, the program will also provide artists with a unique opportunity to push boundaries in art and technology, offering access to cutting-edge tools, interdisciplinary collaboration, and mentorship from leading experts.

Throughout the residency, local artists will have access to a fully equipped studio space, including computers for 3D graphics, programming, and multimedia production, as well as VR headsets, projectors, and other technology. These creatives will also benefit from partnerships with academic institutions, commercial design firms, and nonprofit organizations, ensuring a rich ecosystem of support and inspiration.
