The Newnan-Coweta Art Association encourages artists to produce original works of art in all mediums and to display those works in Coweta County and the surrounding areas. The Association also fosters art education by supporting the arts in Coweta County schools and by promoting the appreciation of works of art in our community.
We'd love for you to join us!

SEASONS OF STRENGTH: Seasons of Strength is an art and history project to capture Coweta County’s journey of resilience and recovery after the 2021 tornado by honoring the strength of our communities, sharing hard-earned lessons, and inspiring hope for the next community facing a natural disaster. To make this project a success, Seasons of Strength needs you to share your tornado story. You can book your interview at the Newnan-Coweta History Center through their website, or you can go to the Boyd Gallery and tell your story into the WABE Phonebooth on Thursdays and Fridays from 12-4. They are collecting stories until May 15, 2025. The NCAA is collaborating with Seasons of Strength to help support and promote this project by offering an Art Option! Local visual artists are asked to respond through their art to the questions that are being asked in the Seasons of Strength interviews. Artists can feel free to use an existing piece they believe responds to one of the questions, or create a new one. Artists will donate the piece of artwork to be part of a Silent Auction to help raise funds in order to bring the final culminating event for Seasons of Strength to life. NCAA Artists are also invited to Raffle a free 1:1 or group art class(es) to adults; all funds from the raffles will go to the Seasons of Strength project. You are encouraged to share information about this project either in your own way through your email contacts or social media accounts, or by using the materials and information they've provided. How can YOU help?
Let's get involved and help bring this project to fruition! Let's help tell the stories of the community we love! Contact Teresa through [email protected]. |
