On behalf of Georgia Council for the Arts and the Georgia Department of Economic Development, we are proud to welcome you to “REIMAGINE: Contemporary Georgia Artists,” a traveling exhibition of select works from the Georgia State Art Collection and THE MERIWETHER MONARCH ART SHOW by local artists around Meriwether County. 

      These works were crafted by talented Georgians who have made meaningful contributions to Georgia’s economy, culture, and quality of life. Use this exhibit guide to consider questions that encourage critical thinking and deeper appreciation of these works.  Through this exhibit, communities are supporting local artists by offering them a powerful platform to connect with audiences. It also provides educators opportunities to integrate arts education into their curriculum, enriching learning and fostering creative problem-solving.   Your participation in this experience plays a big role in supporting the state’s nonprofit arts and culture sector. Venues like the ones hosting this exhibit – and audiences like you – contribute to at least $1.27 billion in economic impact annually and support nearly 20,000 jobs. 

      We hope this exhibition inspires you to explore Georgia’s artistic legacy, engage with local artists and businesses, and deepen your connection to the state and the community you call home. 
Thank you for joining us, and I hope you enjoy this wonderful exhibit.
