A Place to Stay: From Festival Art to a City Celebration
What started as a creative project under the tent at last year’s Magnolia Festival has now become a heartfelt tribute to the spirit of Peachtree City, and we were honored to share it with Mayor Kim Learnard and the city this week at the Peachtree City Library.
During the festival, more than 250 families stopped by our “A Place to Stay” community art space to decorate tiny 2” golf carts with words and images that expressed what they love most about living in Peachtree City. Those decorated carts, symbols of connection, gratitude, and creativity, became the foundation for something bigger: a three-dimensional diorama of Peachtree City that celebrates the places, people, and values that make this community special.
This week, we presented the finished piece, complete with parks, trails, landmarks, and plenty of golf carts to the Mayor and City of Peachtree City. Alongside the artwork, we shared a poem titled “Plan to Stay”, created from the 36 most meaningful words submitted by residents, capturing the heart of what “home” means here: Trees, Winding paths, Calm, Quiet, New, Peaceful, Neighbors, Kindness, Years, Children, Love, Care, Families, Safety, Community, Golf Carts, Paths, Friendship, Open Space, Greenery, Parks, Schools, Events, Nature, Home, Tranquil, Support, Future, Together, Memories, Spirit, Growth, Beauty, Freedom, Belonging, and Serenity.
Our goal with this project was simple: to show how art can bring people together, spark gratitude, and remind us of what we cherish most about where we live. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, shared their creativity, and helped build this living portrait of Peachtree City.
📍 The finished diorama and poem are now on display at the Peachtree City Library until October 31st we invite you to stop by, explore, and celebrate the magic of our shared home.
