Suwanee has embraced public art as its unique niche by which it can further develop its community identity, enhance citizens’ quality of life, and creatively promote economic development. In 2011, the city started the inaugural Suwanee SculpTour, an “art on loan” walkable exhibit of original outdoor sculptures that are on display nearly year-round in downtown Suwanee. The 2012 exhibit, as did the 2011 exhibit, includes 15 sculptures created by local and national artists that are varied in style, material, size, and scale. On loan to the City from March to May, collectively, the sculptures create a dynamic artfocus to downtown.
