The
Art Station - Big Shanty, Cobb County Parks , Recreation,
and Cultural Affair's third center dedicated to the arts,
opened to the public in June of 2002. The house, originally
built in 1943, was relocated to its present location and renovated
to include both classroom and exhibition space. We strive
to meet the artistic needs and desires of the North Cobb community
with two multimedia instruction classrooms, a photography
darkroom, a pottery studio, and a large exhibition space that
opens to an incredible view of Kennesaw Mountain . The Art
Station - Big Shanty presents a wide variety of art instruction
and designs specialized classes through our Art For All programs.
In our gallery space, we exhibit local artists, arts groups,
art related communities and local schools.
We
also offer free family activities throughout 
the
year such as the “Holly Jolly Art House” and “Springtime at
the Art Station.” Other free events are shared ventures with
the North Cobb Arts League such as our “Melodies in Meadow”
program, a series of free concerts on the lawn in the summer
and our “Celebration of the Arts” fall festival at which many
local artists are able to sell their artwork. Please give
us a call for more information about anything we offer at
The Art Station - Big Shanty.
