Showcasing Fine Art at the Quinlan Visual Arts CenterThe Quinlan is currently celebrating its 60th Anniversary! Since the founding of the Quinlan Visual Arts Center in 1946, many artists have had the pleasure of showcasing their work in this lovely facility. Early exhibitors include Lamar Dodd, Ed Dodd and George Beattie. Both solo artists and group exhibitions have been presented, including recent exhibitors TULA of Atlanta, artists from Mason Murer Fine Art, the Georgia Watercolor Society, the Plein Air Painters of the Southeast, and the Southeastern Pastel Society. Nationally renowned artists Roseta Santiago, Dennis Campay, Marc Chatov, Geoffrey Johnson and Pat Drew have shown their work along with many well respected local talents. Showcasing a variety of fine art for the public is an important aspect of the Quinlan mission. It is our responsibility to feature both the community favorites as well as the most diverse and innovative artists today. The Quinlan Visual Arts Center is proud to host at least seven full exhibitions annually, including an entire month each spring in celebration of Youth Art Month, and our most popular Members’ Exhibition each fall.

The juried exhibition is popular both with artists and collectors as it brings together stunning original art work from across the country to northeast Georgia. Jim Chapman, the Juror for Entry, and Awards Juror, Frank Norton, Jr., will be presiding over the exhibition and judging the works based on both quality of execution and implementation of theme.
