Suwanee’s newest event, Big Artsy, will serve as an introduction of the 13 pieces that make up the sixth installment of the city’s popular SculpTour exhibition. The event takes place 6 to 10 p.m. June 15 at Town Center Park.

“Art, in the public realm for the whole of the community, is an integral piece of our city’s personality,” said council member Linnea Miller. “It’s not enough to simply create a “place.” That place has to come alive – through art, events, activities, and just making things fun. People need a reason to keep coming back and connecting.”

Since 2011, Suwanee’s SculpTour program has brought 79 sculptures to a walkable one-mile area of downtown Suwanee. Eleven pieces have become part of the city’s permanent collection.
