The Storefront Art Exhibit showcases artwork by Dunwoody High School students in windows of local businesses. Businesses select artworks that capture the spirit of Dunwoody. Create Dunwoody promotes the temporary exhibit and creates a Storefront Art Tour Map. Some artwork is used in other exhibits and projects such as the City of Dunwoody’s Greenlight Art. This temporary exhibit is a project of Create Dunwoody with the support of the City of Dunwoody’s Economic Development Department.
