Donations Sought to Fund Snellville Labyrinth Project

Submitted by City of Snellville

SNELLVILLE – The city’s Arts Commission is looking for help to a proposed labyrinth on City Hall grounds.

Since it was proposed in October, the diameter of the meditative structure has been cut down to 28 feet, but the need to fund the project remains.

The Snellville Arts Commission proposed the brick-lined labyrinth to sit between the Veterans Memorial and cemetery at Oak Road and Highway 78 near City Hall, an area now known as Veterans Memorial Park. A labyrinth is meant to be used as a meditation tool and are often found outside churches and hospitals. A labyrinth is not meant to confuse walkers like a corn maze, but instead give them a winding path on which to contemplate and relax.

The labyrinth will be open to everyone and a special invitation is extended to nearby churches.

The proposed labyrinth would be a seven-circuit model, or a Classical Greek structure. There would be no walls on the path, but a wall is being considered to block traffic noise on Highway 78.

Donations are tax deductible and for a $500 gift, a plaque will be placed in the donor’s honor.

To donate to the labyrinth fund send donations to:

SAC Labyrinth Fund
