Elan Buchen Roswell Arts Fund- Why ART?

Art & Roswell...Why it matters

What to know about our speaker- Elan Buchen

Elan comes from the public art, festival, and experiential worlds. For the last 15 years, he has been building art experiences for guests in both the public and private realms. He has seen, firsthand, the effect public art can have on economic development, quality of life, and culture. He believes Roswell is home to some of the most beautiful natural landscapes, trails, and history, and is eager to see public art connect these great assets in the coming years.

His Experience

In his prior roles, Elan has helped design and implement work with attractions, museums, galleries, tradeshows, film, and gaming. His projects of note include Hamilton the Exhibition and the creation of the public art and festival program for the Atlanta BeltLine. His clients include Stone Mountain Park, Sotheby’s, Disney, Google, Adult Swim, and more. Elan holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Savannah College of Art & Design in Sculpture. When not herding artists, Elan draws and sculpts out of his studio, surrounded by a menagerie of animals.
