Button Art Sculpture coming to Lilburn

Council voted to allow the use of Public Art Funds for the purchase of a Button Art Sculpture for display. Button Art, Inc. is a nonprofit organization and the project was established in honor of Gwinnett County's 200th anniversary. Button Art will manage, create, and install 200 original life-sized Button Sculptures throughout Gwinnett County. The city's sculpture will feature unique artwork and should be a great photo opportunity for residents and visitors. The city will also receive a blank button with blackboard material for placement in Lilburn. Vote: 4-0
