This issue of Southwest Gwinnett Magazine captures the energy of spring and early summer across Peachtree Corners, Duluth, Norcross, and Berkeley Lake. At the heart of the issue is the Patrizia Winsper’s article on the Wesleyan Artist Market, with profiles of three standout artists—Dawn Newbern, Edith Anne Hunt, and Heidi Hensley—each bringing unique creativity and personal stories to this community-favorite event. We also highlight engaging seasonal stories, including faith-driven farming in El Salvador, summer camps close to home, and a Duluth author’s suspense-filled debut novel.
Readers will enjoy Arlinda Broady’s article on how Greater Atlanta Christian School is transforming learning with its new Treehouse space, while fans of coffee and kitsch will love our feature on a former Beatles tribute drummer opening a new café venue. Add in a robust local events calendar and extensive Easter and Holy Week service listings, and this issue is your go-to guide for everything happening in our corner of Gwinnett.
