Podcast 304 – Spirits for Spruill and the AMPLIFY Mural Selection – Alan Mothner Spruill Center for the Arts is turning heads again with craft cocktails, public art, and serious community energy. CEO Alan Mothner returns to talk about Spirits for Spruill, the gallery’s fall celebration happening October 25. The big reveal is the 6th AMPLIFY mural, selected from 157 national submissions. This year’s finalists—Christina Kwan, Danae Antoine, and Chloe Alexander—bring color, culture, and serious talent to the side of the historic Smokehouse along Ashford Dunwoody Road. Expect more than art. Spirits for Spruill features tastings from top Georgia distilleries, bites from ZaZa’s Kitchen, and live music by local favorite Magno. Alan also shares how Spruill has grown into a cultural anchor in Dunwoody, offering everything from toddler art to free yoga in the courtyard. A record $108,000 in scholarships has already been awarded in 2025, and the new strategic plan hints at renovations, artist studios, and even more public art. It’s art with heart, right in the center of Dunwoody.
