Suwanee SculpTour 2025–2027: the 24 sculptures and where they stand

The 2025–2027 Suwanee SculpTour is the 8th edition of the city’s rotating outdoor sculpture exhibit, with 24 new sculptures placed throughout downtown, per the City of Suwanee, which calls it its largest exhibit to date. The city’s brochure maps the pieces across Suwanee Town Center and Town Center on Main. It is outdoors and free, and Explore Gwinnett, which presents this edition, lists it as open daily.

How SculpTour works

• It has run since 2011. By its sixth installment the program had brought 92 sculptures to a walkable one-mile area of downtown, per the city’s historic timeline.
• Donations pay for it. The city says SculpTour is funded entirely through donations, with no tax dollars.
• You pick the People’s Choice. Vote by clicking the like button next to your favorite sculpture on the city’s SculpTour page. The city has not published a voting deadline or a winner date.
• Hear the artists. The city’s page links to recordings of the artists describing their works.
• Some pieces are for sale. The city says visitors can purchase select pieces; start with its SculpTour page.
• Some pieces stay. The city typically buys at least one sculpture from each SculpTour for its permanent collection, again with privately donated funds, per its public art page.
• The next round is forming. The city is accepting proposals for 2027–2029 sculptures. No installation date for the next exhibit has been announced.

When does this SculpTour end?

The city has not announced a closing date. Explore Gwinnett’s listing runs to March 30, 2027, but that is the listing’s window, not a date the city has set.

Where the 24 pieces stand

Titles, artists and hometowns come from the city’s SculpTour page. Zones are approximate: we read them off the numbered map in the city’s 2025–27 brochure, which is an image, so allow for some searching.

A walk in brochure order

1. City Hall and Town Center Park (pieces 1 to 11). Start by City Hall, 330 Town Center Avenue, with Mediator and Fulcrum I. Loop the park for pieces 3 to 9, then head north toward Buford Highway for pieces 10 and 11. The city’s loop map marks four park loops of 0.25 to 0.365 mile.
2. Station Park (piece 12). Dragon stands at the pocket park beside the police station at 373 Buford Highway, which the city calls a great place to watch trains go by.
3. Across the tracks (pieces 13 and 14). Le Tour Polka Dot is west of the railroad near Main Street, and Novel Idea is by the library at 300 High Line Street. The city notes walkers can use the pedestrian tunnel near the library to reach Main Street.
4. Town Center on Main (pieces 15 to 23). Three pieces line the High Line Street edge and six more stand in the park, home of the 1,200-foot pedestrian bridge.
5. PlayTown (piece 24). Finish with Tractor near PlayTown Suwanee, 425 Main Street, a good last stop if you have kids along.

Short on time? Pieces 15 to 24 are grouped around Town Center on Main and PlayTown. For parking, see our parking guide.

Why Suwanee has so much art

Suwanee launched its public art initiative in 2008 with a City Council-appointed Public Arts Commission, per the city’s public art locations page. Since 2008 the city has also encouraged developers to put one percent of construction costs toward art in their projects.
