Art schools and colleges in Georgia are quickly becoming popular as the state grows into its new role as a focal point for art and culture in the South. Since the 1960’s, interest in the visual arts within the state has surged, and the state is now home to several well-reputed schools and universities, with a multitude of programs and disciplines to choose from. Be sure to check out The Barbara Archer Gallery, which features southern folk artists, Kubatana Moderne that exhibits work by African and African American artists, and Jackson Fine Art in Atlanta, which remains one of the most important galleries of photography in the country.
