The Art Center at Johns Creek's Creator Circle

Join us for our evening open studio time from 5-7 pm! Bring your works in progress and have fun creating in a social atmosphere with your fellow artists. We have some materials to play with, like inks, acrylic mediums, and miscellaneous ephemera, which can help inspire your next project or just be used to experiment and have fun!

We cannot accommodate wet clay work or anything that produces fumes, but beyond that all materials are welcome (we've even had folks bring their laptops for regular work things, just to enjoy the company!). Ceramicists are welcome to bring bisqueware and their own underglazes and glazes, but please note that our clay studio will not be accessible at this time.

As you spring clean your studio, set aside your unwanted gently used supplies for The Art Center's Earth Day Artist Swap!

Held in conjunction with our Upcycled exhibition, the Earth Day Artist Swap encourages both recycling and exploration with your art supplies. No money or negotiations are necessary for the swap; just leave what you don't want and take what you do! Be sure to bring a reusable bag to "shop" the used supplies.

For a list of accepted materials for the Artist Swap, check out Scraplanta's Material Donation Guide here: https://www.scraplanta.org/donate#anchors-mim59xax6

We will also accept the following:
-Organization supplies, like bins or small drawers. No large, heavy furniture please!
-Studio supplies: easels, clay tools, etc
-Display equipment for art shows (again, no large, heavy furniture. You can leave information if you have a something like a spare vendor tent you’re trying to get rid of).

If you are unsure about an item, please call us at 770-623-8448

Drop offs of unwanted supplies can begin as early as 3 PM on Thursday April 23 at the Annex (Suite 606, right next door to the main building), but the official event is held on Saturday.

While you're here, check out Scraplanta's recycled papermaking workshop! Accepting students ages 9 and older, this workshop is a fun and affordable way to learn how to make paper from your old junk mail. Great to do with a friend, by yourself, or with the whole family!
