Sugarloaf Community Improvement District, in partnership with The Hudgens Center for Art and Learning and the Gas South District, seeks proposals from artists for the design of two adjacent decorative crosswalks. This Call for Artists is for design only, as the crosswalk material will be installed by professional contractors. Submitting artists/designers must be professional artists (new artists are welcome to apply).
Both decorative crosswalks will extend across Satellite Boulevard at the intersection with Gas South District southern entrance. These are county-owned and maintained roads, and the CID will be responsible for maintaining the decorative portions of the crosswalks.
The competition is open to all Georgia residents. Artists working or living in Gwinnett County are strongly encouraged to apply. Candidates must be professional artists or designers eligible to work in the U.S., age 18 or older. The winner will receive a compensation of $5,000. This includes coordination with the installation contractor to make any necessary changes to the design for production purposes. Artists must be able to travel to the site for a few days during installation (installation dates will be coordinated with artist to ensure availability).
- Deadline for applications is March 1. Installation is expected in the spring of 2025. For a pdf packet of full design project guidelines, email Laura Ballance at lballance@thehudgens.org

County forms opioid abatement committee
Gwinnett County has established an Opioid Abatement Advisory Committee following settlements from federal lawsuits against several pharmaceutical companies.
As a result of these settlements, the state of Georgia has designated Gwinnett County to receive a substantial portion of the funds to support opioid abatement and remediation efforts. The committee will review applications from organizations seeking funding and provide the Gwinnett Board of Commissioners with recommendations on how to allocate funding to maximize their impact on opioid mitigation efforts.
Committee members include:
- Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Angela D. Duncan, Accountability Court representative;
- Jennifer Hibbard, Executive Member of a Community Services Board representative;
- Tasha Edwards, Lived Experience representative; and
- Dr. James Smith, Gwinnett County Board of Health representative.
Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson remarks: “This is a crucial step forward in addressing the devastating impact of opioid addiction in our community. Through the work of this advisory committee, we aim to be both strategic and compassionate when allocating these resources, ensuring that the funding leads to meaningful outcomes for those most affected.”
