New Montgomery County Government Center, you and art!

January 19, 2022 | The Paper of Montgomery County |

Would you like a chance to sell your art and have it displayed at the new Montgomery County Government Center?

Athens Arts Gallery and The Art League of Montgomery County have scheduled an art exhibit featuring 2D artwork by artists that have a tie to the county, on the evening of Thursday, Feb. 24 at Fusion 54 on the third floor from 6 to 8 p.m.  This event is for local patrons (industries, companies, banks, local leaders, citizens, etc.) to view and purchase art that will be displayed at the Government Center.

The new center, located at the former Williamsburg Nursing Home, will house many of the county government offices and will welcome all community members and a multitude of business leaders. Your artwork will enhance the ambiance of the facility and highlight the artistic talents of artists!  All mediums and styles are welcome!
