About us
The Art Center is a nonprofit community teaching center and gallery in Johns Creek. We regularly host free community events like Creator Circle Open Studio days and gallery show receptions, and we occasionally hold the one-off plein air meeting or artist board game night.
Hobbyist, professionals, and art-curious folk at every skill level are welcome to join us, find new friends, inspire each other, and make life more colorful and creative. You don't have to be a current member, resident, or student to come to our events; you just have to love the arts!
Our core event will be the weekly Creator Circle meetups, a free open studio time to work on your projects or simply play with other artists. Most weeks we'll have a random assortment of materials available to explore and inspire your next piece (varies based on donations received). We cannot accommodate wet clay work or anything that produces heavy fumes, but otherwise all mediums are welcome! Ceramicists are invited to bring their bisque pieces and their own underglazes/glazes to join in the fun with us.

More about the VR experience:
"Spatial Storytelling was commissioned by Fulton County Arts & Culture, Public Art Division to translate the visual and poetic elements of Shanequa’s powerful exhibition Psalms for Black Girls into a 360° immersive experience. Led by the artist herself, recorded at the Emma Darnell Aviation Museum, the piece preserves the intimacy, symbolism, and emotional resonance of the original installation while extending its reach beyond the gallery walls and into classrooms, libraries, and community spaces through the Public Art Futures Lab's VR/STEAM outreach.
