Officials in Atlanta are looking for an artist to create drawings and paintings honoring the nearly 30 children and young adults who were killed during a string of crime in the 1970s and 1980s, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

The paintings honoring the Black boys and girls will be displayed in an exhibit at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

Interest in the murders has risen partly because of the popular podcast Atlanta Monsters and Mindhunter on Netflix.

Tayari Jones, the author of New York Times bestseller Leaving Atlanta, described the deaths in her novel.

Toni Cade Bambara’s novel Those Bones Are Not My Child, which also details the children's deaths, was reportedly edited by the late Toni Morrison.

Although many of the cases remain unsolved, Wayne Williams has been accused of committing the murders. He is serving a life sentence for killing two adults, but he was never tried for the deaths of the children.

According to the AJC, the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs is sponsoring the project.

In March, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced that police and prosecutors will look at new evidence about the cases using modern science and technology, the AJC reported. Bottoms also signed an administrative order establishing the “Mayor’s Advisory Committee: Atlanta Children’s Memorial Taskforce,” which is charged with finding ways to honor the victims. 

Applications to be considered for the program are due by November 22, per the Associated Press. Interested artists must live in Fulton or DeKalb counties and are required to submit a digital photo and drawing of Clifford Jones. Jones’ death led police and other investigators to determine the murders were part of a pattern.

The chosen artist will receive $18,000. They will be expected to make 30 pieces of art to represent the 30 victims, according to AJC.
