SUWANEE - #SUWANEE AND SUWANEE GATEWAY MURAL

Alexandra Sorto, who was 17 at the time, painted the beautiful #Suwanee mural that resides in Suwanee. The giant mural reflects the city’s past and offers a glimpse into its future. Located near intersection of Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road and Buford Highway

Holtkamp Heating & Air created murals on the sides of their new headquarters on Interstate 85 at the Suwanee Gateway. The mural first features Settles Bridge, representing the past and pulling the viewer into the mural. As they traverse the bridge, this metaphorically leads the viewer into the present and the iconic Suwanee City Hall that serves as the center of the community today. A secondary mural on the south-facing side of the building captures the energy and vibrancy of the music, arts, and parks scene in Suwanee. Located at 60 Old Peachtree Rd NE, Suwanee, GA 30024

The awe-inspiring architecture known as the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir will drop your jaw as you pass the unexpected structure along Hwy 29. in Lilburn. Hand-carved (yes...you read that right. Hand. Carved.) by volunteers this modern marvel's beauty is unmatched.
