What We Do
Roswell In Print
Roswell in Print is a brand new, outdoor photography exploration in three parts designed to highlight the diverse characteristics of the City of Roswell, using visual storytellers to capture it through beautiful, compelling imagery and displayed in non-traditional spaces.
Art in Unexpected Places
The current pandemic has momentarily closed the doors for many traditional spaces dedicated to art but the desire for connection and creative experiences is thriving. Roswell has a wealth of nontraditional outdoor spaces to explore and there is an opportunity to curate unique and unexpected experiences for neighborhoods throughout the city.
Roswell Arts Fund, in partnership with the Hagan Family Foundation, Getty Images and the City of the Roswell saw an opportunity to curate unique and unexpected experiences for neighborhoods throughout the city.
Works will be displayed with consideration for safe, socially distanced experience.
Give the Gift of Art!
The coronavirus crisis has shut down the majority of in-person art shows, fairs and festivals — places where many artists generated most of their annual revenue. According to American for the Arts, the arts economy has lost $14 billion since March.
To support our artists all images shown in the exhibit are available to purchase and 70% of every sale will go directly to the artist!
Purchasing a print is a great way to support artists, celebrate creativity and find a unique and meaningful print for your home or as a gift for a fellow art lover!
An Exploration in Three Parts
Roswell in Print will have three distinct installations in different outdoor locations that allow for safe and socially distanced experiences. Each exploration will take inspiration from the characteristics that define
the community of Roswell, GA: Modern Spirit, Southern Soul. Through an extensive public engagement process, we have come to understand that spirit by asking the people of Roswell who they are and what is important to their community. The unique elements that emerged from those conversations became the
themes at the core of this photography exhibition.
In each exhibit, the visual storytellers featured will span countries and generations. We hope that these photographs, inspired by Roswell’s essence, will convey a universal message of belonging, a welcoming sense of community that travels beyond our city limits and resonates with viewers near and far.
Exploration One: "We Are Our Colors"
Dates: December 2020 – February 2021
Where: East Village Shopping Center, 2640 Holcomb Bridge Road Roswell GA 30076
The first theme photographers were invited to explore was “We Are Our Colors”.
“Blossoming, vibrant, scenic, consequential, sustainable. Telling our story through artwork and color paints a picture that is lively, vivacious, leafy, and lush. If our city is a canvas for art, our history, physical surroundings, and the spirit of our people are the palette. “ – Public Art Master Plan, Roswell Arts Fund and the City of Roswell, 2017.
The first exploration will be installed at East Village Shopping Center, made possible through the support and partnership of the redevelopment team ECI Ventures, LLC and The Ardent Company East Village REO, LLC.
