History. Creativity. Community.

For decades, our historic building has been Dawson’s home for the arts.
Honoring that legacy while building for today, we provide the tools and
community to help you bring your ideas to life—whether you’re
starting a craft project from scratch or stepping into your first art exhibition.

Fresh Perspectives Every Month.

Our walls never stand still. With fresh exhibitions
opening every month, come discover new mediums,
meet the artists, and take home a piece of North Georgia.

Find your people.

We believe art is a shared experience.
Grab a spot in our next class, bring your current project
to an open-studio, and meet the next generation of
Dawsonville artists & makers.

Unplugged - Amplify The Arts

From intimate concerts to community jam sessions, experience the
pulse of Dawsonville’s music scene.  Come hang out, support
homegrown talent, and enjoy live performances in a space built for sound.

Build Your Creative Business

We champion Dawsonville’s working artists.
