SUWANEE - What stands 4-feet to 10-foot tall, weighs more than 4,600 pounds cumulatively, and is made mostly of steel, but also aluminum, wood, and bronze? It's the 15 public art pieces that comprise the 2012 Suwanee SculpTour.
Presented this year by QuikTrip, SculpTour is Suwanee's walkable outdoor exhibit of original sculptures. Displayed nearly year-round in and around downtown Suwanee, SculpTour is designed to be a public art encounter that serves as a quality of life enhancer, economic development tool, and community identifier.
Administered by Suwanee's Public Arts Commission, the inaugural Suwanee SculpTour exhibit was installed last year and taken down earlier this month. The 2012 exhibit, which features 15 sculptures created by 11 artists, representing Georgia and five other states, will be installed in time for the May 19 Arts in the Park festival.
"We learned a lot from our first year," says Suwanee Public Arts Commission Chair Linnea Miller, "and we are poised for even greater success and impact in this coming year. SculpTour 2012 will surprise and delight visitors with 15 diverse sculptures that represent different styles, materials and genres. We believe that this diversity is representative of our vibrant community and offers an opportunity for Suwanee to continue to give its citizens and visitors a unique, shared experience through exposure to the arts."
