Through community events, inclusive programming, exhibits, presentations, and more, the Society continues to fulfill its mission to acquire, preserve, and promote the history of Fulton County.

Our summer program supports young artists from ages 6-14 through a Choice-Based/TAB (Teaching for Artistic Behavior) approach. With this philosophy we emphasize that the child is the artist and the classroom is their studio! Kids have the opportunity to explore materials and ideas that interest them, encouraging experimentation and curiosity. Come experience the artwork in person and see the amazing creativity from our students! The reception on Friday, August 15th 5:00-8:00 pm will be during Beekman Street's Friday Art Market.
