Toastique Johns Creek Launches Mural Contest, Invites Atlanta-Area Artists

Toastique Johns Creek announced on March 9, 2026, that it is launching a mural contest for local artists as part of preparations for the opening of its gourmet toast and juice bar at the Old Alabama Shopping Center, 3005 Old Alabama Road in Johns Creek. The contest, aimed at artists across the Atlanta area, ties directly to the new storefront at the Old Alabama Shopping Center and marks a public-facing step in the shop’s rollout.

The March 9 announcement specifically invited both professional and amateur Atlanta-area artists to participate in the mural contest, signaling an outreach beyond established muralists to the broader regional arts community. Toastique Johns Creek framed the contest as part of the location’s launch activities, linking artistic visibility to the arrival of a new food-and-beverage concept at 3005 Old Alabama Road.

The Old Alabama Shopping Center address places the upcoming Toastique Johns Creek outlet on a well-traveled corridor in Johns Creek, where new retail openings often shift pedestrian patterns and customer flows. By commissioning a mural tied to the opening, Toastique Johns Creek is using public art at 3005 Old Alabama Road to create a visual landmark that could increase walk-in traffic for the gourmet toast and juice bar when it opens.

For Atlanta-area artists, the contest offers a platform connected to a branded hospitality concept: Toastique Johns Creek bills itself as a gourmet toast and juice bar, and the March 9, 2026 announcement associates the mural directly with that business identity. The pairing of a food-and-beverage opening with commissioned art at the Old Alabama Shopping Center follows a growing local practice of retailers using murals to announce new seats and amenities, and positions the 3005 Old Alabama Road location as an intended neighborhood draw.

The March 9, 2026 announcement is the first public detail tying the artist contest to the Toastique Johns Creek opening at the Old Alabama Shopping Center in Johns Creek. As the gourmet toast and juice bar moves toward opening, the mural contest will be one of the earliest visible signs of activity at 3005 Old Alabama Road and a concrete opportunity for Atlanta-area artists to place their work in a high-visibility Johns Creek retail setting.
