Whether we realize it or not, art of all kinds surrounds us on a daily basis. “The Arts” is one of the reasons many of us are getting through difficult times. Listen to some calming music, watch an incredible dance film, appreciate virtual art shows in our community, or get elbow deep in paint and canvas to let go of your emotions. The following are a few organizations we recommend to get the art in you flowing. Some offer classes, some need volunteers or donations, and some are there simply for you to enjoy.
Backstreet Community Arts
19-B 1st Avenue, Newnan, GA 30263
706.940.2787 • www.backstreetart.org
Backstreet Community Arts exists to provide a safe, welcoming, creative environment to anyone who may benefit from the healing powers of art and community. Study after study proves that art has a positive effect on the mind, body and soul. Backstreet Arts reaches out to adults who may not be aware of or have access to the proven healing power of art: those who have experienced trauma, illness, or grief; veterans; homeless and limited-income individuals who cannot afford art classes, and anyone who wants to practice art in a comfortable, non-intimidating, inclusive atmosphere. Backstreet is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that believes Art Saves Lives.
Artisans Heritage Guild
The Artisans Heritage Guild of Newnan-Coweta works to create a spirit of revival that seeks to reclaim the artistic traditions once common and reconnect us with our natural, inherent ability. Artisans Heritage Guild is a group of artisans bound by the common belief that mastery of one’s art carries with it the responsibility to share with others the skills, knowledge and perspective that only years of practice can give. The Guild's artisans carry on a long tradition of teaching in order to honor those who taught us. They teach to pay respect to those artisans who came before, and to recognize their contributions to the act of inspired creation.
