Doors to Homes & Hope

SUWANEE - Knock, knock: An art exhibit of approximately 150 artist-painted doors will be on display in locations throughout Gwinnett County during the month of October, including at Suwanee's Sims Lake Park.<br /> <br /> The Doors to Homes & Hope exhibit is designed to support both families in need of decent, affordable homes and the arts in Gwinnett County. Proceeds from auctioning/selling the doors will benefit Gwinnett Habitat for Humanity/ReStore and ArtWorks! Gwinnett.<br /> <br /> The exhibit will open October 5 and close November 2, when all the doors will be brought to Sims Lake Park for auction pick-up and onsite purchases. Through October, approximately 30 doors are expected to be exhibited at Sims Lake Park with a few more on display at Town Center Park. Other doors will be displayed in locations throughout Gwinnett County, including in Duluth, Norcross, and Snellville.<br /> <br /> "Some of the doors are spectacular," says Stacie Stamper, donations coordinator with Habitat for Humanity's Gwinnett ReStore. "I'm in awe of the artistic talent we have hiding in plain sight here in Gwinnett County."<br /> <br /> Information about the auction and individual doors will be available at GwinnettRestore.org as the exhibit date gets closer. Bids will be accepted only via text.<br /> <br /> In addition, a World Habitat Day Salute will be held at Suwanee's Town Center Park at 12:30 p.m. Monday, October 7. This event is free and open to the public.
