Gwinnett’s best young artists will be in the spotlight from February 22 through March 21, during Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) Tapestry event. GCPS’ annual celebration of the arts takes place at the school district’s headquarters, which is located at 437 Old Peachtree Rd. NW in Suwanee. Visitors to the school district’s J. Alvin Wilbanks Instructional Support Center (ISC) can roam the student art exhibit, seeing firsthand how the lessons from Gwinnett’s award-winning fine arts teachers come to life through student artwork. 

     Over the course of three-and-a-half weeks, the ISC’s lobby area will be transformed into an art museum filled with paintings, drawings, three-dimensional art, mixed media, pottery, jewelry, and two-dimensional art— all created by Gwinnett students. The student artwork will rotate by cluster during the exhibit. Tapestry is open to the public during business hours during the week and during designated weekend hours. Building hours are:

• Monday – Friday 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.
• Saturday 7 a.m. – 4 p.m.
• Sunday 1 p.m. – 6 p.m. 
• NO artwork will be displayed March 2 – 3, 2024.
