9th Annual Art in the Square
A note from Art in the Square Director Anne B. Hill "Thank you so much for coming to the 2012 Art In The Square. I know how hard you all work to make all your beautiful fine art and crafts all year long, and I really appreciate everything you do. I was remiss in not announcing the Art In The Square Awards on Saturday afternoon, but I didn't think that you all could hear me. And we waited until today (Sunday) to count all the votes for the People's Choice Award." Click on the link below for a list of AITS winners. 
We are celebrated Arts In Education Week at the Q, with an Arts Educator appreciation event September 10th honoring all art educators- drama, theater, chorus, music, dance or visual arts.
Thank you to our in-kind sponsors: Chilis of Lake Lanier, Spa on Green Street, Occasions of Gainesville, Scott's on the Square and Pen Dragon Fine Art Supplies.
