Every town, no matter how small, has its own unique art scene. It might just be one man or woman making painted birdhouses in their home to sell at the county fair, but if you take a close look at any community, you’ll find local artists who love what they do. For the last 13 years, Art in the Square and Main Street Gainesville have worked to bring North Georgia artists together to showcase their work and connect with the community.
