Projects must be an outdoor piece that is integrated within the thirty-acre City of Atlanta nature preserve. Artworks may be site-specific. Durability and ephemerality in outdoor conditions must be considered. Visitors will enjoy the beauty of Blue Heron and these artworks while social distancing with its #SpreadYourWings campaign. Submissions are due March. 14 by 11:59 pm EST. Selected artworks will be announced by March 19. For more details, see https://bhnp.org/art-of-nature.
