a vibrant, canopy installation celebrating collective creativity in the heart of Fairburn, GA.

The 2025 edition of Alleywave is expanding its reach to continue to weave the collective inspirations and stories that define the Fairburn community, and will feature a fresh thematic vision led by acclaimed artist Jasmine Nicole Williams. Set to extend across the entire downtown alleyway, the installation will offer passersby an immersive experience beneath 119-feet of suspended, vibrantly colored panels designed by returning contributors Black Girls RUN!, Arlington Girl Scouts, and the New Beginnings Senior Center, as well as the broader Fairburn community.

Alleywave 2025 will also be a featured part of Georgia Cities Week, a statewide initiative celebrating the contributions of municipalities and community engagement across Georgia, further highlighting the role of public art in fostering civic pride and community connection.

Alleywave: Canopy of Colors brings together visual reflections from Fairburn students and organization members collected during creative workshops held in the community. Led this year by Sanithna Phansavanh, the workshops included an overview of color theory, color psychology, and basic design principles. Participants were then provided templates designed by Sanithna, and were given free reign to customize them according to their personal inspirations.

Each reflection will then be translated into a unique satin panel within the installation, forming a collaborative and colorful canopy reflecting the collective inspirations of the Fairburn community.
