By moving the primary gallery to the new facility, Gilmer Arts will be able to expand the educational programs offered within the current building. With modifications to the existing building, classes for adults and youth will have more spacious rooms, and a dedicated gallery for youth exhibits, which will elevate interest and participation from young, aspiring artists.

The new and improved gallery space will attract more local and regional artists of all mediums who seek to have their work displayed in a beautiful, secure environment. Their work will be featured safely and respectfully without the disruptive hustle and bustle of educational classes and daily business activities occurring in the same location. Overall visitor experiences will be enhanced as the new gallery will have ample space for viewing the exhibits and will be easily and conveniently accessible from both a street sidewalk entrance and a level parking lot entrance. The building’s exterior renovations will honor historic preservation requirements and improve the streetscape of downtown Ellijay. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, financing the $600,000 building renovations will require multiple fundraising efforts, grants, and the generosity of sponsors and donors like you. Please consider the Gilmer Arts New Gallery and Arts Education Center in your donation planning for 2022-2023. With your help, we can renovate and expand our facilities and continue to offer sensational events and educational opportunities for adults and youth and enrich community life for all of Gilmer County and the surrounding area. Thank you, again, for your support of the arts in Gilmer County! Gilmer Arts & Heritage Assoc President
