Alleywave: Canopy of Colors is a large-scale installation featuring 60 satin panels reflecting the collective inspirations & stories that make the Fairburn community special, designed by children in the Fairburn community.

Produced by Dashboard in collaboration with the City of Fairburn’s Art in the Alley, the 70-footlong skyward installation temporarily transforms the heart of Fairburn, GA into a vibrant and engaging space for passersby, and a destination for celebrating the city's community, culture, and accomplishments during Georgia Cities Week.

alleywave Process

Alleywave: Canopy of Colors weaves together visual reflections from Fairburn students, organization members, and club participants in local organizations, collected during creative workshops led and designed by artist and graphic designer Lewis H. Foster. Each reflection was translated into a unique satin panel within the installation and accented by projected light, collectively forming a collaborative and colorful canopy displaying the inspirations and intentions of the Fairburn community.
