One of the most fun things about moving into a new place is figuring out where to hang the art.

In Jonesboro, Ga., Starbucks partners admire the collection of pieces from local artist Marryam Moma as they get ready to open Starbucks newest Community Store on July 12. Moma’s collage art celebrates Atlanta’s rich cultural heritage of human connection, empowerment and beauty. The store itself was designed to celebrate community, creating a warm and welcoming environment for customers as well as providing space for programs by local non-profits and community organizations.

See below for more scenes from the pre-opening ceremony.
