Chatham County Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources officially opened the Arts Center on May 17, 2025, with a ribbon cutting ceremony, hands-on arts and crafts, live demonstrations, music, food, and fun!
“We’re incredibly excited to open the doors to this vibrant new space,” said Tracy Burnett, Director of Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources. “The Arts Center is a place where creativity, community, and culture will come together, and we can’t wait to see it come to life with the help of our residents.”
The Arts Center has classroom & studio space featuring pottery kilns, a glass kiln, pottery wheels, exhibition space and a large screen for digital projection.
The Arts program is growing and currently offers a variety of multi medium arts classes for all ages including Clay Hand-building, Drawing, Glass Fusing, Mosaics, Literary Arts, Painting, Printmaking, Stained Glass, Textiles and more! We provide workshops, longer-format classes, and collaborative teaching partnerships.
