Organized by Atlanta-based photographer and artist Beth Lilly, "<a style="color:#5f3918" href="http://gifted.acpinfo.org">Gifted</a>" will engage the public and transform Atlanta through the gift of 1,200 limited-edition, fine art photographs which will be randomly distributed during the month of October.  <br><br> Lilly and her team will hand out the prints throughout the Atlanta metro region during ACP's 11th festival this October, in unexpected places, at unannounced times. The dates and locations for obtaining a free print will not be disclosed in advance, (but a little bird told us that you may want to <a style="color:#5f3918" href="http://twitter.com/acp11">follow ACP11 on twitter</a> to find out when the "<a style="color:#5f3918" href="http://gifted.acpinfo.org">Gifted</a>" team has been spotted). Selected from a competitive open call for proposals, Lilly's project was most suited to ACP's public art mission, to infuse Atlanta with photography in an exciting, unpredictable way that directly impacts Atlantans within the flow of their daily lives.  Lilly's project is also an attempt to find and cultivate new appreciators of photography and the photographic print, by providing a professionally-printed, valuable "starter print" for a potential collector. The exchange will promote local photographers while encouraging a rich dialogue about the act of giving valuable art for free as well as an oblique commentary on the current economy. <br><br> Each photograph is an archival, gallery quality, limited-edition, signed and numbered print. Lilly's prints will showcase the work of Atlanta's best photographers, from unknown shooters to the city's top talent. In addition, one set of prints will be "gifted" to the permanent collection of MOCA GA.<br><br> Participating photographers:<Br> <b>Corinne Adams<br> David Walter Banks<br> William Boling<br> John Bohannon<br> Christian Bradley West<br> Diane Kirkland<br> Kathryn Kolb<br> Lynn Marshall-Linnemeier<br> Pam Moxley<br> Laura Noel<br> Dorothy O' Connor<br> Michael West</b><br> <br> To follow the progress and results of ACP11's Public Art Project, please visit <a style="color:#5f3918" href="http://gifted.acpinfo.org">gifted.acpinfo.org</a> "Gifted" will live on through this web project. There, recipients of the photographs are encouraged to post about their experience of receiving the artwork and to upload images of the art in its new home. <br> <br> ACP has a rich history of bringing lens-based, temporary public art to Atlanta, during our fall festival. Previous projects have been produced by Paul Kaiser and Shelley Eshkar, Amy Landesberg, Peter Bahouth, Joey Orr and Matt Haffner, Jason Fulford, and Bradley McCallum and Jacqueline Tarry. <br><br> - ACP<br><br> <!--<font size="-2">(photo credit)</font size>--> </div> <div id="nl-footer" style="padding-right: 0px; border-top: #c8c3bd 5px solid; padding-bottom: 20px; line-height: 15pt; font-size: 11px; background: #gggggg; margin: 0px; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 0px; color: #666; float: left; width: 445px;"> <p style="margin: 3px 20px;"> <b><font size="+1">About ACP</font size></b><br><br> Atlanta Celebrates Photography (ACP) supports Atlanta's emergence as an international center for photography.
