their work, by partnering with local business and associations willing to offer venues for openings and other art events. Encouragement and recognition for outstanding work is facilitated through honors and awards. General membership meeting are held each month with additional events, discussions, exhibits and shows scheduled throughout the year. Though we are the oldest art association in Georgia and can look fondly at our history, we also have our eyes on the future with our website, where members may post current art events,calls for entries and host a forum to discuss art topics. Our site also provides an online gallery for its members art and information about our artists.
