Johns Creek Arts Center: Who We Are:

Though Johns Creek Arts Center has been called North Fulton County's best kept secret, we have evolved over 14 years into a premier arts education center. Our non-profit center was originally created as Warsaw-Ocee Community Arts Center by a group of North Fulton art enthusiasts concerned about the lack of arts education and activities in the area.
In 2004, the organization built a facil¬ity for our fast growing arts center and changed the name to Ocee Arts Center. The new city of Johns Creek sprang up and the Ocee Arts Center, finding itself in the center of activity, changed names one more time to Johns Creek Arts Cen¬ter (same home, new name). Johns Creek Arts Center now serves over 2,400 artists of all ages per year through classes, camps and workshops.
Throughout the year, Johns Creek Art Center hosts several exhibitions and events in order to raise awareness of and for support local artists and the arts center. The center annually hosts both holiday and instructor art shows and sales. The yearly "Bowls" event, stu¬dent shows and special exhibitions highlighting artists or a particular media are also sponsored by JCAC.
