Cobb Cultural Affairs offers the citizens of Cobb County many
creative and entertaining outlets for their leisure activities.
Whether you are looking for a watercolor, clay or acting class,
theatre performance, outdoor concert, gallery exhibition or
arts related birthday party, this unit will have your program
(or create it for you!). With three arts centers in East, West
and South Cobb, the Civic Center Complex, the historic Mable
House and the Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre the creative possibilities
seem endless. Classes are offered on a quarterly basis for children
18 months through senior adults. Visual and performing arts
camps are offered in the summer for ages 3 - 18.
Cobb Cultural Affairs also offers two performing arts seasons
each year. If you are looking for a national tour of a musical
or a big name artist, look towards the Anderson Theatre's Encore
Season from January to April. How about a great outdoor concert?
The Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre provides performances from
May to September each year.
The arts are an important part of Cobb. The Cobb Cultural Affairs
unit invites you to find your creativity and join us in one
of our many theatres or classes soon!
