Currahee Artist Guild
Sadly, our time at The Studio has come to a close. While we no longer maintain a physical gallery at The Studio, our community of artists are still going strong.
We are currently in the process of seeking another gallery space to call home.
Though we've bid farewell to our location at The Studio, our mission to support local artists continues. Please bear with us as we sort out next steps regarding our upcoming annual events, workshops and other activities.
