The City of Frisco Public Art Program seeks original, 2-dimensional artworks by artists from Frisco and the surrounding area for the 15th installment of Art in the Atrium. The exhibition will showcase artistic excellence in the region, encourage public dialogue and understanding of visual art, and promote the City's cultural and economic initiatives. Art in the Atrium 15 is scheduled for October 9, 2017 through March 9, 2018 at the George A. Purefoy Municipal Center.

Artists may submit up to three images of original artwork.
