The Arts Council will offer free scheduled tours to schools/large groups. School tours will include an educational audio/visual presentation, walk through the galleries to view the exhibit and games. To schedule a free tour call 770.534.2787 or email [email protected].

Georgia Artists with DisAbilities, Inc. was founded by the Pilot Clubs of Metropolitan Atlanta in 1985, enabling disabled artists throughout Georgia with the opportunity to display and sell their original art, as well as being eligible to compete for awards. Based on the awards given, artists may also have the opportunity to have their artwork displayed in a statewide tour and exhibit. Many mediums of artwork are included in the show, such as pottery, painting, sculpture, wood carving, photography, metalsmithing, weaving, and others.
