The Gwinnett 200 Bicentennial Art Exhibition celebrates Gwinnett’s rich history by bringing together original art, photos, and book excerpts from several Gwinnett County artists. On display will be artwork and book excerpts from the late Charlotte Edwards Howerton, oil paintings by artist Peggy Sullens, mixed media artwork by several Kudzu Art Zone artists, and a pictorial documentary of historic Gwinnett County.
