Atlanta Culture Affairs Director Camille Love announces retirement

Earlier this year, City of Atlanta Director of Cultural Affairs Camille Russell Love announced plans to retire from her role before the end of 2024.

Since 1998, Love has helped shape Atlanta’s cultural programming. She provided strategic direction for several cultural and artistic initiatives, including the Chastain Arts Center and Gallery, the city’s public art program, Gallery 72, the Cultural Experience Project and the Atlanta Jazz Festival. Under her leadership, Artsy recently recognized Atlanta as the No. 2 Emerging Art Capital to watch in 2024.

Upon her successor’s appointment, Love will assume an emeritus role as the mayor’s Cultural Affairs Senior Advisor.
