Explore Gwinnett has selected the City of Suwanee Public Arts Commission to receive a $10,000 Gwinnett Creativity Fund project grant.
The grant would be used fund a mural on the side of the historic Pierce’s Corner building in Old Town Suwanee.
Now in its fourth year, the GCF has awarded nearly $200,000 in grants to fund projects which include:
- Suwanee Arts Center – operating grant for renovation and expansion, and support for summer camps
- Suwanee Performing Arts – project grant for Broadway in the Park
- African American Cultural & Arts Festival – project grant for event
"We are fortunate to be part of a community with such a flourishing arts and culture scene," said Lisa Anders, Explore Gwinnett's executive director, who leads the Gwinnett Creativity Fund. "The contributions of the local organizations who received a grant in 2023 have made a profound impact on our community's well-being, cultural growth and vitality.”
The City of Suwanee has previously recieved GCF grants for the Ultimate Participation Trophy (2022), the Town Center Park amphitheater stage wings project (2021) and the Buford Highway Mural (2020) in recent years.
