About

Southwest Arts Center is a City of South Fulton Department of Cultural Affairs campus at 915 New Hope Rd SW. The center hosts events and classes across its entire campus, not just one building. For example, visitors will find two gallery spaces with rotating exhibits, a 360-person performance theater, and an intimate black box theater. In addition, the studio building houses classrooms, a dance studio, a music room, and a graphics lab. Throughout the year, residents can sign up for seasonal classes and summer programs in the arts. Local artists can also submit class and event proposals or ask about rehearsal space. As a result, the center works as a true cultural hub for South Fulton GA.
