Suwanee is inviting citizens to take a break from home quarantine, load the family into the car, and take a drive through town to explore the art. No masks are needed to enjoy much of Suwanee’s public art from the safety of the family vehicle.

The city has created an interactive map to all of the city's art pieces that are visible from the road: www.tinyurl.com/SuwneeArtinCar.

Launched in 2008, Suwanee’s Public Arts Commission works to create programs that bring and promote public art in Suwanee, and to work with and encourage developers to use one percent of construction costs to include public art or support public art as a component of new projects. Three years later, the first SculpTour, Suwanee’s recurring temporary sculpture exhibition, was launched.
