Art on the BeltLine is seek proposals from artists and performers for the 6th annual event this autumn. According to a media release, potential projects should reflect the historic, environmental, cultural, functional, urban design, and/or aesthetic aspects of the sites and should be well-researched, well-planned and feasible.
