Let Suwanee Put Your Art On A Limb

SUWANEE, GA — The City of Suwanee is seeking proposals and samples from artists willing to go out on a limb for the city’s finders-keepers art-in-nature program.

A beloved Suwanee tradition, Art on a Limb is an award-winning, month-long program designed to celebrate and bring attention to the arts, as well as the natural beauty of the Suwanee parks and greenways. Since 2005, the city has hidden two pieces of artwork – created especially for the City of Suwanee – daily throughout the month of May within city parks and along the greenway; those who find the trail treasures get to keep them.

Past Art on a Limb pieces have included fairy doors, clay birds and orbs, small paintings on canvas, pieces of the City’s old water tower, magnets, gourds painted to look like birds, the Suwanee S shaped from metal, and pottery pieces. This year, we’re looking for something new, unique, and fun!

Artistic proposals for this year’s program will be accepted through February 22. Guidelines and an application are available at suwanee.com.
