Sparkle Sandy Springs Lights Up Community With Art

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- A month-long holiday celebration of the talent of local artists, schools and businesses will kick off next week in Sandy Springs. This inaugural event, Sparkle Sandy Springs, will be held at the Heritage Sandy Springs Entertainment Lawn.

Entertainment will be provided by Riverwood International Charter School Band, Ridgeview Charter Chamber Orchestra and School of Rock Atlanta House Band. Artists slated to participate in Sparkle Sandy Springs include: Riverwood International Charter School, North Springs Charter High School, Mt Vernon Presbyterian School, Holy Innocents' Episcopal School, Trader Joe’s, Community Assistance Center, sQuishiepuss (Atlanta artist known for his signature pink French Bulldog character), Abernathy Arts Center and Painting With a Twist.
