Greetings!
It is with pleasure that we invite you to our home on May 15 to celebrate our second sculpture event entitled Art Around the World. Stroll our gardens to see the ten magnificent works of art and be on hand that evening for the announcement of the winning sculpture. The winning work will be donated to the City of Sandy Springs for permanent display. ArtSS welcomes both friends and members to this "international cocktail chic" event as we fulfill our mission of bringing art to the streets of our community.
