Freedom Park Conservancy names ‘The Park is Art’ photo contest winners

Freedom Park Conservancy has named the winners of its 2026 “The Park is Art” photo contest. The winning photos are on display now in the lobby of the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum. Freedom Park, Atlanta’s designated art park, is a 130-acre greenspace east of downtown and features temporary and permanent art installations throughout. The conservancy’s board asked the public to capture the park on camera. Subjects could include art, flowers, playgrounds, birds, or families enjoying the space. The contest had four categories: professional, adult hobbyist (19 and older), teen (13 to 18), and youth (under 13). Two photographers tied for first in the adult hobbyist category. The photos will remain on view through at least the end of November. The library is at 441 John Lewis Freedom Parkway, on the edge of the park. The winners Professional “Web of Gold” by Anna Sherrad won first place in the Professional category. Credit: Anna Sherrad Adult Hobbyist
