Painting, drawing and other creating arts are some of the best ways to cope with the quarantine blues, and the Turner Center is here to help! While doors are temporarily closed, Turner Center for the Arts is providing the youth of our community a way to be creative. Swing by the Center’s main building PARKING LOT on Wednesday, April 1, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m., to pick up youth art bags, filled with colored pencils, paints, chalk, a sketch pad and other art-related supplies, including story writing activities and stickers provided by the South Georgia Regional Library. The art bags are sponsored by Guardian Bank, a longtime partner of the Center, and are available on a “first come – first served” basis until bags are gone. Simply drive up and a staff member, protected with gloves and mask, will hand you the art bags you need.

The Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts will host the art work of students from approximately 50 regional schools in the Youth Art Month exhibition, opening on Sunday, March 1, from 2-4 p.m. Read More
