Earlier this year, Alpharetta's mixed-use development, Haclyon, said it was looking for area students to submit entries for an original mural. Now, the Forsyth County development has selected a winner.
A design by Maryann Garrido, a rising senior at Alliance Academy for Innovation in Cumming, was selected from more than 40 entries from local students.
The artwork is entitled “Together in Harmony.” The design features “nature's music along with the live music families enjoy on Halcyon’s Village Green,” according to a press release.
“Halcyon is a creative and inspiring community that bonds friends and families together,” Garrido said. “I wanted to create a design where people could make and cherish memories when visiting Halcyon, and I’m excited to be able to represent my Latino community through my art. I hope visitors, old and new, are inspired to take photos with this symbolic portrait behind them.”
Artist Meg Mitchell will help bring the artwork to life at Halcyon.
Weather permitting, the mural is set to be completed by June 15.
The artwork will be located on a wall next to Kilwins and will be 8 feet tall and 29 feet long.
