Two sculptures added to Suwanee’s art collection

Two of the 2013-15 Suwanee SculpTour exhibit’s 14 pieces will remain as part of the city’s permanent art collection. The Suwanee Public Arts Commission, using donated funds, purchased “Iron Canopy” by Phil Proctor as the People’s Choice award-winner. The 17-foot-tall kinetic sculpture represents the magic of trees and life supporting life.

Dick Cunningham with Ippolito’s Restaurant is purchasing the “Who Let the Dogs Out?” collection of sculptures by Jim Collins and is donating the piece to the city.

“We’re purchasing the sculpture in memory of our granddaughters’ Uncle Rob,” says Cunningham. “It will be a lasting memorial to our son who was killed in an accident.”
