This fall, the Peachtree Corners Town Green will take on a new identity as art and imagination converge in the city’s busiest gathering place. As part of Explore Gwinnett’s month-long ARTober celebration, Dashboard is unveiling The Cloud that Dreamed of a Lake, a large-scale installation designed to transform the Green into an open-air gallery where everyday life meets creativity.
Suspended between the awnings above the park, the sculpture resembles a cloud caught in reflection, a vision meant to surprise, inspire, and spark conversation among those who encounter it. Town Green is a natural choice for this installation as it’s already a hub of activity and innovation, and this project reflects that spirit perfectly.
The installation is the work of Atlanta-based artist, musician, and composer Eddie Farr, whose career has spanned both national and international stages. Farr is best known for his immersive projects that blur the lines between nature and technology, creating experiences that shift how people see and feel their surroundings. His work has appeared at the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, the Atlanta BeltLine, Echo Contemporary Arts, and the Hambidge Art Auction, among others.
For The Cloud that Dreamed of a Lake, Farr drew inspiration from a residency at the Hambidge Center in North Georgia. After community dinners, he often walked back to his cabin just as the sun was setting, where rain clouds would part and bathe the forest in golden-pink light. On one particular evening, he imagined the scene as though a glowing cloud was reflected in a lake.
The installation, which will be on display from October 1 through the holiday season, is more than a striking visual centerpiece. For the city and for those who visit, it’s a reminder of how shared spaces can be transformed into places of wonder and reflection.
As visitors stroll through the park this fall, they’ll be invited to pause, look up, and see the familiar surroundings of Peachtree Corners in a new light. In that way, The Cloud that Dreamed of a Lake becomes more than an installation—it becomes an experience, one that turns a public space into a shared memory for the community.
