Local fine arts group to host show Friday and Saturday By MICHAEL BOYLAN The Fayetteville Train Depot hosts a wide variety of events throughout the year, everything from a monthly bluegrass jam to a Breakfast with Santa in December. This weekend they will host the Fayette Society of Fine Arts’ Art Show, where a large percentage of the group’s artists will showcase their work. Among the different mediums that will be represented at the show are oils, acrylics, watercolors, sculpture, stained glass and more. The nonprofit group, which was founded in March of 1994, has over 60 members. Their main goal is to promote education for visual arts in Fayette County. While the Southisde of Atlanta isn’t necessarily known for their artists, there are many talented people down here and the Fayette Society of Fine Arts supports them and promotes their work. the group meets the second Monday of every month at 7:30 p.m. at the Heritage Bank in Fayetteville. Many items at the art show will be on sale and portions of the proceeds will go to the group’s scholarship fund. Each year the group presents scholarships to local high school students that are planning on pursuing a career in the visual arts. The art show will take place from 1-7 p.m. Friday and from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday. |
