Great idea- but who will sponsor it??? Politically and monetarily?? I think it is a great idea but I have no talent or vision to see how it will happen. I’m glad you do.

Seems to me like this would be better suited for the Fairlie Poplar district. They are just getting the focus crystalized in that area for this type of thing, it would seem almost counterproductive to build this so far away.

To get it done, encourage the mayor to form a task force composed of representatives from all levels of the arts community (not just the big players, much love to them). The arts center will ultimately come out of a collaboration between public and private entities, but it’s less likely to happen without grassroots support and participation in the process.

There’s no telling. From time to time, believe it or not, good ideas make it through Atlanta’s power regime. The unifying force is to attract activity to the downtown area, and this would be a great step toward that goal.

How likely do you think this is to happen? It sounds like a good idea, but that’s never a guarantee of anything.
