Your Community. Your Voice. Your Public Art.

The public art implementation planning process was designed to bring an artful touch to public spaces, gathering places and projects.  In October 2018, the City of Dunwoody completed its Create Dunwoody Arts and Culture Master Plan, which stated that arts, culture and placemaking can be economic drivers and civic catalysts, while providing educational benefits and cultural legacies for the community. Two of the key recommendations were to step up public art and placemaking projects.  Following on this plan, the city looked for the best opportunities to bring an artful touch to Dunwoody's public spaces, gathering places and projects. A public survey conducted in the spring of 2020 helped the planning team understand the community’s goals and how art projects can support them.

The City hired Todd Bressi, a consultant who specializes in public art, placemaking and urban design, and who has worked in a variety of Georgia communities, to identify actionable opportunities that best meet Dunwoody’s needs. During the course of his research, he consulted with arts, business and civic organizations in a variety of ways, including this survey.  Dunwoody’s Public Art Implementation Plan was approved by the Dunwoody City Council in September 2020.
