Off Site Meeting - Hood Street Art Center

In lieu of our regular club meeting, the Rotary Club of Henry County held an offsite meeting at the Hood Street Arts Center. We were given tour of the facility and were excited about the growth the center is experiencing.

This art center was founded by a former Rotarian, the late Andy Davis.

In early 2015, sculptor and former Rotarian the late, Andy Davis moved his studio from an old cotton mill into a one hundred year old unoccupied factory on Hood Street in downtown McDonough, Georgia.

Once a hosiery factory, the Center is a 20,000 square foot facility that now contains 20 artist studios, a theater, the dance studio, and an art gallery, as well as outdoor space and special event venues.

The Curtain theater space and The Gallery are available for performers, artists, and community members to host exhibits, events, and workshops of all kinds.

The Hood Street Art Center represents emerging regional artists seeking to increase community awareness and appreciation in the Southern Crescent area of Atlanta. Through centrally located exhibits, we work to build sales and support for our artists, as well as arts exposure and enjoyment for our community.
