Over 40 stunning creations submitted to the Gwinnett County Public Library’s Altered Book contest, as well as the highly imaginative Pulp Fashion pieces featured at Duluth’s Barefoot in the Park festival will be on display at the beginning in June. 

The public is invited to celebrate the opening of these and other exhibits at the June 9 reception, hosted by the Hudgens from 2:00 p.m. - 4 p.m.

“We have had over 40 submissions for the Altered Books Contest, and 14 Pulp Fashions created for ‘Barefoot’-- each piece a unique expression that uses print material in a new way.  That they can be enjoyed by the public in one exhibit and supported by generous donors like the Georgia United Credit Union and Garden Plaza is such a special opportunity for our community.”

This event is free and open to the public.  The Hudgens Center for the Arts is located at 6400 Sugarloaf Parkway, Bldg 300, Duluth, GA, 30097.
