You’ve seen all the specialized license plates — UGA, Georgia Tech, Spelman College, spay and neuter your pets, etc., etc. Now arts lovers have a chance to get their own specialty plates and show their support. If the program goes forward, $10 from the sale of each “Explore the Arts” plate will go to the Georgia Council for the Arts, which will use the funds to support arts programs statewide.
The plates will be pressed once 1,000 reservations have been made. Reservations are $25; the plate costs an additional $55. Those fees do not cover your usual ad valorem tax. The license plate features the image of Gen. James Oglethorpe, who settled Georgia, standing in front of the state flag. It was designed and created by Georgia artist Steve Penley. A few other details:
- Personalized, or “vanity,” plates are not available and cannot be reserved.
- License plate numbers are issued randomly. Requests for specific (i.e., “low”) numbers cannot be honored.
- Please do not contact your local/county tag office. You will be notified via U.S. mail when production of the specialty plate begins.
