The 2025 Art Calendar Contest, hosted by Public Works, showcases a vibrant celebration of youth creativity revolving around the theme "Reimagine Water." This image captures the essence of the event, featuring a diverse group of students proudly displaying their artworks. Each child holds a framed piece that exemplifies their unique artistic interpretation of water's significance in our lives, embodying the contest's goal to raise awareness about natural water resources and their management. The excitement and sense of accomplishment are palpable, highlighting the importance of engaging young minds in environmental consciousness. The backdrop of the event emphasizes a modern architectural setting, suggesting a physical space that is both open and welcoming. Large glass windows and lush greenery inside provide a refreshing atmosphere, symbolizing the very theme of water and nature that the artworks represent. Standing amidst towering columns, the students form a cohesive group, underscoring their collective achievement and camaraderie. This visually striking environment not only enhances the students' artistic expressions but also aligns with the contest's mission of fostering community connection and environmental stewardship. The array of artworks seen in the students' hands spans various styles and techniques, showcasing a rich tapestry of perspectives on water. From vibrant, energetic depictions of flowing rivers to more serene interpretations of still lakes and ocean waves, the pieces reflect an understanding of water's multifaceted role in our ecosystem. Each artwork serves as a personal narrative, allowing viewers to glimpse the artists' individual relationships with water — whether through play, conservation, or reflection. The contest challenges participants to not only express their creativity but also to explore deeper themes of sustainability and responsible water management. The presence of community leaders and representatives in the background underscores the importance of support for youth initiatives in promoting environmental awareness. Their engagement with the students highlights a collaborative effort to instill values of stewardship and responsibility regarding natural resources. This event not only recognizes artistic talent but also reinforces the imperative of nurturing a future generation that is informed, inspired, and capable of tackling pressing environmental challenges. The triumph of the 2025 Art Calendar Contest serves as an encouraging reminder of the transformative power of art in bridging community efforts and fostering a deeper appreciation for our most vital resource: water.

The image features an expansive sunset sky that transitions through various hues of orange, pink, and purple, creating a warm and vibrant atmosphere. Below this stunning sky, a tranquil lake reflects the colors of the sunset, enhancing the beauty of the scene. In the foreground, we see a silhouette of a tree with a wide canopy and a few scattered branches, standing alone near the lake's edge. The water is still, with gentle ripples disrupting the perfect mirror-like surface. The distant horizon showcases rolling hills that create a subtle depth in the landscape, while a few wispy clouds float lazily in the sky, catching the last rays of the setting sun. The overall mood of the image is peaceful and serene, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the natural beauty.

ulton County Releases January 2025 Point-in-Time Count Report The report reveals the faces of the homeless amidst growing needs. ATLANTA – Fulton County Continuum of Care (CoC) has released its annual number of individuals in shelters, temporary housing, and unsheltered settings. The 2025 Point in Time Count (PIT) Report indicates that more than 40% of those experiencing homelessness in Fulton County are unsheltered. On January 28, 2025, the PIT Count identified a total of 241 homeless individuals in the county. Of these, 103 individuals were classified as unsheltered, residing in places not meant for human habitation, while 138 or 57%, were sheltered in emergency shelters or transitional housing programs. The totals represent a 28.9% decrease from the 2024 count. “This is a vital and ongoing project that allows Fulton County to collect the necessary data needed to understand the demographic characteristics and living situations for persons experiencing homelessness,” said Stan Wilson, Fulton County Director of Community Development. “The goal is to not only collect this data, but to find unsheltered homeless individuals and families and connect them to available resources.” The Report also indicates that: 69% of homeless households counted were composed of adults. 28.2% of homeless households counted had one adult and one child. 18.7% of the homeless counted were children under the age of 18. Each year, the Fulton County PIT Homeless Count identifies vulnerable groups. Volunteers and service providers traveled throughout Fulton County conducting the surveys, providing outreach, and gathering information to determine which services are needed to alleviate barriers to housing. The vital information received from the Point-In-Time Count will help guide policies and initiatives to provide support, encourage community involvement, and find effective solutions. The CoC uses this real-time data to give a picture of how many people are entering the system, how many are leaving, and how many are moving into housing and able to stay housed.
