Suwanee launches public art capital campaign to raise $1.25 million

Suwanee has launched the city’s first-ever capital campaign for public art. The ‘Art for All’ campaign seeks to raise $1.25 million in private contributions to support the addition of three new public art pieces in the Town Center Park Expansion.

Suwanee’s public art is funded entirely through sponsor support, avoiding any use of tax dollars. The city completed a fundraising feasibility study in 2018 and kicked off the Art for All campaign this summer with the first major commitment of $100,000 from Quantum National Bank.

The city recently committed $16 million to fund a Town Center Park extension which, when completed, will make the park one of the largest urban parks in metro Atlanta. The additional $1.25 million committed to public art will fund three signature art pieces – an interactive, signature installation, a gateway entrance piece, and an installation in the railroad underpass.
