Summary & Background
Scope of Work: The Department of Arts & Culture proposes to rescind the award made to David Moore and Adam Deck on December 21, 2022 (Agenda Item 22-0964) to commission original works of art at three locations in Fulton County.
On March 16, David Moore contacted the department to notify us of his resignation from the project. His collaborator, Adam Deck was given the opportunity to apply as a solo artist on March 28, however, he did not submit a portfolio for consideration. Therefore, the Department recommends rescinding the award and appointing an alternative artist.
The contract with the selected artist was never executed and therefore, no funds were expended.
