After 10 years of providing professional arts training to the residents of north Fulton County, the Ocee Arts Center officially became the new Johns Creek Arts Center, August 22.
With its new name, the center's 64 instructors will continue to offer visual arts and theater classes and camps to nearly 2,000 participants each year in its facilities at 6290 Abbotts Bridge Road in Johns Creek.
The center's mission remains the same: to inspire artistic development for children and adults and to be a premier community arts center providing affordable quality art education to the residents of Fulton County and the surrounding communities.
"We have come a long way from the two rooms at Warsaw Elementary School with 50 participants and a handful of instructors to the grand facility that we built and now own in Johns Creek," said Executive Director Dyanne Carpenter.
