City Springs Art Walk
Town Turtles
A couple of familiar "faces" (and their colorful shells) have taken up residence around the City Green and in Byers Theatre lobby to celebrate the City's birthday! The 20th Anniversary Turtle Walk, a joint project of Art Sandy Springs and the Sandy Springs Society, is bringing back a bit of the City's history to help celebrate this significant milestone and will be on display from mid-June through September. While we celebrate our City’s history, an upcoming exhibit in the Gallery at City Springs will offer a glimpse into our future when we display children’s artwork envisioning Sandy Springs in 20 years.

Selections From the 2023 ArtSS in the Open Sculpture Contest
UpCycle
By Joni Younkins-Herzog
Material: Steel, bicycle wheels, paint
From the artist: "This artwork was inspired by recycling and the interesting variety presented by the differences of wheels. The concept was to repurpose older bicycles into a work of art that celebrated professional and amateur cycling, art, music, community, and recycling."
Flowing Arches
By Matt Moyer
Material: Painted steel
From the artist: "This sculpture explores how different people and communities (the varied colored arches) are connected by bridges (the pylon-type legs) and rivers (the wave-like form)."
Caprice
By Charles Pilkey
Materials: Stainless steel, bronze
From the artist: “A work of whimsy… there are two kinds of artworks… those that offer escape from the world and those that protest the world’s injustice. As the title suggests, Caprice is of the former type, an entertaining work of whimsy intended to provide temporary rest from the mad rush of modernity.”
