City Springs Art Walk

Coming Summer 2025

A couple of familiar "faces" (and their colorful shells) are back and taking up residence this summer around the City Green. June through September, eight turtle sculptures are on display around the City Green. 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. 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.”
