The Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association is deeply passionate about the transformative power of art. Our dedicated Art Center team strives to introduce fresh exhibits, events, and programs, enriching our community through the vibrant tapestry of art and culture.

We aim to cultivate a nurturing sanctuary where artists can thrive and evolve. Our success is intrinsically linked to the achievements of our artists and the myriad galleries that compose our vibrant Art Town in the scenic mountains of Blue Ridge, Georgia. Proudly, we host the most extensive Gallery Experience in the North Georgia Mountains.

With a membership exceeding 1,000 individuals, more than 500 of whom are artists, the Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association (The Art Center) serves as a pivotal cultural hub. Our artists proudly display their works in our diverse galleries, including the Mark Mahan Gallery, Lobby Gallery, Richard Low Evans Gallery, Studio Gallery, Piano Gallery, Atrium Gallery, John & Evelyn Branch Gallery, and the Ballet Gallery. Boasting over 2,500 artworks on display, The Art Center has emerged as a significant gallery for both collectors and art enthusiasts from all corners of the country.

Additionally, The Art Center hosts an Artist-in-Residence program, showcasing a new artist each quarter. We invite you to stop by and meet our resident artists and watch them work, learn about their techniques and history, and view their spectacular work up-close. 

The Richard Low Evans Gallery, our premier exhibit space, serves as the stage for visiting exhibits, national shows, and member exhibitions. For a glimpse of our outstanding forthcoming exhibits, please peruse our Schedule or view the Upcoming Events slides on our Home page.

We invite you to join our dynamic and burgeoning arts community and explore opportunities for exhibiting at our facility. Artist members have the privilege of displaying their work in our galleries. Blue Ridge, Georgia is rapidly ascending as one of the nation's premier Art Towns.

The Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association (The Art Center) has been on a mission to recognize the town of Blue Ridge, GA, as an Art Town. One of the main components of an art town is to provide a place where our artists can purchase the tools they require to create.

This service will allow The Art Center to provide economical pricing for supplies for our art classes for children and adults. We surveyed our artists to determine the supplies most needed and we are adding to that inventory every day with requests from our artist members. We encourage you to visit, check out our supplies and enjoy the many exhibits that make a visit to the Galleries on West Main such a pleasure. “Art, We are it!”
