Create Dunwoody has been busy celebrating creativity and engaging with community art this summer. From the Soccer Ball Art Exhibit to the America 250 Dunwoody Village Puzzle, we have loved seeing the community unleash their creativity and brighten up Dunwoody. We are so excited for what is in store this fall!
SOCCER BALL ART EXHIBIT
Create Dunwoody’s Soccer Ball Art Exhibit came to a close with winners announced during halftime at the Ashford Lane World Cup Final Watch Party on Sunday, July 19. Each winner chose their prize, with options ranging from hotel stays to restaurant gift cards. The Popular Vote Winners were based off the most votes on our public voting form. The Panel Vote Winners were decided by a group of judges in the Dunwoody community.

AMERICA 250 PUZZLE PROJECT
Dunwoody Village Businesses
The America 250 Community Puzzle Project launched just in time for the holiday, inviting residents and visitors to gather at local businesses and community spaces throughout Dunwoody. As participants worked side by side to complete the community puzzles, they sparked conversations, built connections, and celebrated both America's 250th anniversary and Dunwoody's strong sense of community. The puzzles are available for purchase at ACE Hardware.
