The gallery is coming together! We can’t wait for you to see this exhibit. The theme is abstract art, but you definitely won’t see all of the same thing. With 11 different artists, there’s such a range of styles and mediums to inspire you. The show opens tonight, and it’s a great chance to mingle, meet some of the artists and get first pick of the artwork. If you can’t make it for the opening, though (we know it’s a holiday weekend), the art will be on display until the end of the month.

Need a night out? Sometimes you just need to make time for your friends and recharge together…creatively!

Whether you and your bestie are first-time painters or you have some experience, you’ll find our paint and sip classes to be relaxing and approachable. Our teaching artists are encouraging and just plain fun! As they walk you through the painting process, you’ll learn a little and laugh a lot. At the end, you’re sure to have paintings you love, and that show your own personality.

Teatime anyone?

These four woodfire potters, while using some similar techniques and materials, each interpreted the form of a teapot in different ways. They vary in style from classic to creative, but each one is a work of art.

Which one is your personal favorite?

Artists: Roger Jamison, Kyle Jones, Joel Hurt, Jon Brinley

Good times in the pottery studio! We can’t wait to see how their creative chip n’ dip platters turn out.

We’re so proud of Colin for being of Macon Magazine’s 5 Under 40 Young Leaders this year!

In addition to being our Gallery Curator, Colin is also curator for Theatre Macon, Owner of Shape & Space Art Management and President of the Ocmulgee Artist Guild, just to name a few of his community involvements.

Colin is one of those rare people who grew up in Macon, stayed here and believes in it. His love for helping artists succeed is what drives his success at work, but that’s not the only way he’s helping our community. Make sure you pick up a copy of Macon Magazine to read Colin’s thoughts on Macon for yourself.

Also, we just realized Colin has been working with The 567, either as Fine Art Director or as Curator, for 10 years! Can you believe it? We’re so lucky to have him as part of our team.

Spotlight on: Kelly Kernich

Kelly has been drawing and painting for most of her life. She developed her skills with classes and joined an artist guild near where she lived in Charleston. When she moved to Macon in 2021, she started painting full-time.

Upon moving to Macon, Kelly heard about The 567 Center and met our curator, Colin, who invited Kelly to show some of her work in our gallery. She found Colin to be supportive and approachable, and Kelly started regularly coming to First Friday events.

“Being new to the Macon art Scene, The 567 was a godsend,” Kelly says. “The 567 became my doorway to finding other creatives in Macon. It has given me an avenue to show and sell my work, assisted me with skill development through workshops and classes, and provided a venue to see amazing works of art from other local artists. Honestly, It’s just important because it’s a family of people where I can get support and be myself.”

After exhibiting her work at The 567 and spending time there, Kelly wanted to give back. She started volunteering regularly, became a supporting member, and, eventually, joined our board of directors.

In addition to what The 567 has done for her personally as an artist, Kelly also believes in what The 567 does for our community. “People come to 567 Center to experience the artistic expression of others, to take a fun class with their friends, and to gather and dream, and create together. Communities thrive when they have the arts.”
