Fulton County Arts & Culture

Today was a beautiful celebration of culture, connection, and community as Africa & Fulton County came together to create a platform for Nigerian artists at the Fulton County Government Center. From the amazing food and vibrant music to the nonstop dancing and fellowship, the atmosphere was filled with joy, creativity, and unity. It was truly a celebration of cultures colliding in the best way possible, reminding us how art and culture bring people together across borders. The energy in the room was unforgettable! ❤️🌍 #FultonCountyArts #Nigeria #CulturalExchange #ArtsAndCulture #Community AfricanCulture

☀️ This summer, the @fultonarts Public Art Futures Lab is excited to welcome PIN interns Thaís Alvarenga and Daksh Kapoor ( @dm.gatech grads) in partnership with @fultoninfo DREAM Sustainability Division alongside SCoRE sustainability intern Rachel Bell, who will be conducting energy audits across county facilities. As their projects intersect, the interns will be in conversation around the ways sustainability data can inform public understanding and creative storytelling. Supported through the Partnership for Innovation (PIN) program, this hybrid internship + artist residency explores how civic sustainability data can become public art. Over the coming months, the interns will visit solar-powered county facilities, meet with sustainability professionals, and translate building-performance data into visual, sonic, or sculptural storytelling experiences. Fulton County currently has solar installations across 42 county buildings, with a goal of generating 25% of county electricity through solar by 2030. Since 2021, the program has already saved approximately $240,000 in electricity costs while reducing emissions by 5.8 million pounds of CO2e. We’re grateful to PIN for supporting emerging creatives working at the intersection of art, technology, sustainability, and public impact and excited to share how this work transforms civic data into new forms of public imagination. ⚡️🌱📊
