Arts In Community Development


Georgia Council for the Arts (GCA) strengthens Georgia’s arts industry by providing grants, arts education resources and programs, and services that support artists and nonprofit organizations in communities across the state, from urban centers to rural towns.  

Through our committed partnership approach, we connect Georgia’s vibrant arts community with local governments and stakeholders to create places where people want to live, work, and visit. From one-on-one support to proven best practices, our team helps leaders integrate the arts into community development, invest in public art, and engage with local artists.
