The Atlanta Braves announce Art in the Park will debut this upcoming season, with local artists from around Braves Country creating limited-edition posters. A new 12" by 18" Braves-themed piece will debut at the start of each home series and will be sold exclusively in the Braves Clubhouse Store at SunTrust Park, with a majority of the proceeds going to local arts programs through the Atlanta Braves Foundation. 
"We look to create unique partnerships that continue to evolve our business but also positively impact the community," said Insung Kim, Creative Director of the Atlanta Braves.
