Their work will be on display in the windows of businesses in the Dunwoody Village for up to three months. "We are grateful that such a talented group of students submitted designs," said Dunwoody Business and Cultural Development Manager Rosemary Watts. "We're also thankful to the teachers who embraced this idea and poured their hearts into helping these students become better artists." A total of 30 students from Dunwoody High School submitted creative and competitive designs in April. Business owners and managers then ranked their preferred artwork, and the ten pieces with the highest points were chosen for this inaugural display. Those ten pieces were also approved by the Dunwoody Art Commission. The City awarded selected students $300 for materials and work. Video of the award presentation.
