The City of Brookhaven is proud to announce that the Cielo Tejido (Woven Sky) exhibit will be located on the Peachtree Creek Greenway (PCG) throughout the month of October. The Cielo Tejido exhibit originates from Jalisco, Mexico and is a 665 foot (200 m) hand-woven canopy which will envelop the PCG overlook bridge near the PCG trailhead (1801 Corporate Blvd). This internationally renowned exhibit not only represents an artistic masterpiece, but it also embodies the cultural values that Brookhaven celebrates as well.
