The
Art Station - Big Shanty, Cobb County Parks , Recreation,
and Cultural Affair's third center dedicated to the arts,
opened to the public in June of 2002. The house, originally
built in 1943, was relocated to its present location and renovated
to include both classroom and exhibition space. We strive
to meet the artistic needs and desires of the North Cobb community
with two multimedia instruction classrooms, a photography
darkroom, a pottery studio, and a large exhibition space that
opens to an incredible view of Kennesaw Mountain . The Art
Station - Big Shanty presents a wide variety of art instruction
and designs specialized classes through our Art For All programs.
In our gallery space, we exhibit local artists, arts groups,
art related communities and local schools.
We
also offer free family activities throughout the year such
as the “Holly Jolly Art House” and “Springtime at the Art
Station.” Other free events 
are
shared ventures with the North Cobb Arts League such as our
“Melodies in Meadow” program, a series of free concerts on
the lawn in the summer and our “Celebration of the Arts” fall
festival at which many local artists are able to sell their
artwork. Please give us a call for more information about
anything we offer at The Art Station - Big Shanty.
