The Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs' (OCA) mission is to create and promote rich and diverse cultural experiences in the city of Atlanta that enhance quality of life and expand the city’s international reputation while preserving and protecting Atlanta’s cultural heritage.

The Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs’ (OCA) programming is executed in five key areas:  Arts in Education, Municipal Support for the Arts (grants), Performing Arts, Public Art and Cultural Facilities with a focus on Atlanta’s non-profit art and cultural sector.  We support individual artists, 501c3 arts organizations and community development organizations that provide cultural experiences within the city of Atlanta. In 2017, the OCA was recognized as an Arts & Sciences Cities of Distinction recipient by the Phi Beta Kappa Society for innovative efforts to build community connection through the arts.

The OCA also interfaces with the international community by providing opportunities for cultural exchange. These exchanges are evident in our programming for the Atlanta Jazz Festival, ELEVATE, and workshops in our facilities by artists, primarily from Atlanta’s Sister Cities.

In addition, the OCA routinely works with the Airport Art Program and the Atlanta Beltline on their initiatives, including representation on artist selection panels, and oversight of their installations.
