Town Center Community Partners with Smith-Gilbert Garden on Art Hatch

High school students design "egg"cellent art for community hunt.

Town Center Community today announced a collaboration with Smith-Gilbert Gardens to install 12 egg-shaped wooden displays along the scenic Noonday Creek Trail as part of its Art Hatch event. The event will debut in Smith-Gilbert Gardens on March 23, 2024, and continue with the art installations along the trail during the week of March 25, 2024.

The “Art Hatch” eggs, designed and painted by students from Cobb County schools, measure 36 inches by 24 inches. With the theme "Perspectives" guiding artistic vision, students employed a diverse array of art movement styles to breathe life into each egg. These artful displays will serve as waypoints in an engaging self-guided hunt, with clues leading adventurers through the lush landscapes of Smith-Gilbert Gardens and the scenic Noonday Creek Trail.

"The Art Hatch project exemplifies the transformative power of collaboration and creativity," said Jennifer Hogan, director of community for the Town Center Community. "We are proud to play a role in bringing people together, showcasing the talents of our youth and fostering connections that will endure far beyond this exhibit. This promises to be an immersive experience that weaves together the vibrant threads of art, nature and community."
