Top 12 Finalists
Thank you to all the artists who submitted! We received over 35 submissions from local artists, all very talented. Our L5P Judges have met several times to review each submission and have chosen the top 12 artists over the past very stressful and heartbreaking weeks.
The Beatui5 committee of the L5P Alliance with our L5P Judges delayed the process for two weeks from the original date of June 4th. We chose to pause, like many of you, because we are deeply impacted by the acts of racial injustice and find ourselves pulled to give space, reach out and speak up right now for equality, justice and peace.
We value the power of public art and recognize the needs of artists in this time of COVID-19. Art is a change agent and we support you.
The community will VOTE on the top 6 artists to transform traffic signal boxes in Little 5 Points on Thursday June 18, 2020 from midnight until 11:59pm on FB and IG.
Congratulations to the Top 12 Artists.
Thank you to the 6 supporters who have donated $475 to date. We have $1125 to raise of our $1600 goal. Tax deductible donations can be made here: https://donorbox.org/l5p-signal-box-project
