Hiawassee Public Art Strategy

Hiawassee, Georgia

WHY

Hiawassee, Georgia’s lake and mountain paradise, is located on Lake Chatuge and is the seat of Towns County. To support this beloved outdoor destination and burgeoning arts scene, the Hiawassee Downtown Development Authority envisioned a plan that would support the next step in building Hiawassee’s identity as a place that cares about creativity and strategically invests in art that aligns with its rural, lake, and mountain character, honoring the Appalachian history and traditions and embracing a future that is accessible for all. 

HOW

This plan lays the foundation for the future of public art in Hiawassee and prepares the City to expand its public art efforts, ensuring the physical environment reflects the art-focused culture of its residents and visitors. Future public art in Hiawassee will be a tool to represent the past, present, and future of Hiawassee.

WHAT

The Plan lays out specific projects that Hiawassee can implement over the next 5 years in a range of cost and scale.
