Until status was established in 1936, the title People's Artist of the Republic was awarded in the Soviet republics. His status was uncertain, assignments were made by the Presidiums of the Soviets and the collegiums of the People's Commissariat of Education, at the level of the USSR, the Union and Autonomous Republic. The title was uniform, without indication of the Republic, but lists and registers of the awarded were not kept. Biographers, due to the similarity of status, often identify these titles.

The last awarded in 1991 was the singer Gverdtsiteli, Tamara Mikhailovna .

With the collapse of the Soviet Union in Georgia, the title "People's Artist of the Georgian SSR" was replaced by the title " People's Artist of Georgia ", while the title retained the rights and obligations stipulated by the legislation of the former USSR and the Georgian SSR on awards.
