MARTA ARTBOUND ANNOUNCES CALL FOR ARTISTS FOR WEST END STATION BICYCLE LANE BARRIER 

ATLANTA - The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) public art program Artbound announces a call for artists to create designs to be used on a series of concrete barriers outside of West End Station that will form a protected bike lane.

Two artists will be selected to design artworks that will be translated into stencils so the community can assist in painting the design onto the barriers. The barriers will be used to create a bike lane along Lee Street in front of the rail station.

MARTA has hired Ashley Bella of ArtzyBella to manage the project and coordinate the community paint days, and the Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT) is donating the barriers.

WHAT:          CALL FOR ARTISTS: West End Barrier Art

WHO:            Artists with a strong portfolio of work in 2D media
                     All metro Atlanta artists are encouraged to apply but particularly those who live near West End Station or in Southwest Atlanta

WHERE:        Artwork will be used on barriers on Lee Street in front of West End Station

WHEN:          Applications due Monday, May 22 

HOW:             Visit this link for application instructions or @marta_artbound on Instagram and look for the link in bio 

One percent of MARTA’s annual budget is allocated for its Artbound program which was developed to enhance the ridership experience through visual and performing arts.
