The Spruill Center for the Arts began its $2.7 million expansion project with its April 3 groundbreaking ceremony at its Education Center, 5339 Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Dunwoody.

Adding more than 7,000 square feet to the Dunwoody Cultural Arts Center, the project is a partnership between the Spruill Center and the city of Dunwoody that will provide seven new art studios and a community room.

Spruill CEO Alan Mothner said, “Today marks the beginning of a new era for the Spruill Center for the Arts. This expansion of our Education Center has been in planning since 2018 and will allow us to continue fulfilling our mission of creating and social connections through the arts.”

All lower-level studios will feature large outdoor gathering spaces that will open into the renovated courtyard space.
