URGENT! Time-driven: GEORGIANS, Please email [email protected] and tell the Board you do NOT support adoption of the Grubbs and Alexander proposals. The Grubbs and Alexander proposals both add burdensome and unnecessary requirements on counties before elections can be certified. These rules are being pushed by an organized group of election deniers and could create avenues for bad actors to disrupt the election process, severely undermining Georgia's ability to certify election results. The DEADLINE to submit comments is NOON SUNDAY, August 18th, so please email today! https://apnews.com/article/georgia-elections-voting-hand-count-raffensperger-730c77c8a14954308c95474022b39d74

Love the CAC! Always something fun and inspiring going on. To me this place is sacred ground! Could be because it was blessed by the minister who owned it and gave it to his daughter when she got married to build their house on long long ago.

Submit digital copies of your photographs by August 20th to be considered for the 2024 CAC Members Photography Exhibit and competition.

Entry is free, but you must be a member of the Cultural Arts Council.

For right now, Just Breathe. Breathe in God’s love and the beauty of his creations. Breathe out the fear, anger and frustrations of yesterday. Prayers for all those injured and killed at the rally. Violence is never a good answer.

I painted 3. Support the arts and this awesome Arts Council by painting or buying. Only $20.00 each to purchase a painting!

Help to support the arts in Douglasville by picking up a 6x6 inch tiny canvas, painting it to match your miniature vision, and then returning it to us so that we can offer it as part of our annual tiny gallery fundraising exhibit in July and August.

All types of pieces: painted, sculpted, drawn, acrylic, etc. are welcome. As long as it fits on the 6x6 canvas, it's fine.

Please consider supporting us with your talent. Get directions to where you can pick up your canvas: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GDyU78awCFgNg8J86

The Hydrangea Festival was a rip roaring success! I loved painting with my friends in the gardens. Join me next year first Saturday of June! The weather was perfect and even wore long sleeve shirt! Garden lovers came from all over the SouthEast and were so kind and also love art! Thanks especially to all those purchasing paintings and commissions!

I'll be painting in the beautiful gardens! Hope you will too. Contact me below if interested. No charge.

Our volunteers are the very best! is made possible by scores of locals who give of their time for free.
..And after having celebrated this event for 31 years, many of them can do it in their sleep, even with a brand new venue.

Huge thanks to them!

High Noon at Taste of Douglasville.

I can't express how good it smells here!

I love to use red as an undercoat....

A Shock of Red for a Royal Portrait A new portrait of King Charles III is bathed in symbolism.

It's time to reveal the very last food vendor for this year's Taste of Douglasville.

Alumni Cookie Dough ( ) is coming with their insanely decadent creations. I've heard it's totally acceptable at a food festival to obtain the majority of your daily calories from cookie dough.

Now bear in mind, it's just a coincidence that something so enticing is the last promotion; just a coincidence that we're teasing cookie dough two days before the giant food festival on May 18th!

We can't wait to see you there.

Great food and crafts! May be a few showers but that want stop the fun. Amazingly for years, all showers went around Douglasville.

Taste of Douglasville is coming up this Saturday the 18th at the Douglasville Town Green. This is the biggest party of the year in Douglasville. Last year over 12,000 people came. So, we wanted to brief you with a little information so you'll know what to expect.

This is the first year Taste of Douglasville will be hosted at the Douglasville Town Green. Vendors will be inside and outside of the amphitheater area, with food trucks along the road, and food vendors in a food court area near the tower.

There will be street closures around the amphitheater so plan to park and walk or take a shuttle from 8800 Dorris Rd.

Festival admission is free. You can enjoy the music and activities at no charge. Food tickets cost $1 a piece, and food items cost between 1 and 5 tickets each. non-food vendor products will be sold via the seller's own payment procedures.

This is a rain-or-shine event. So, even if it's drizzling, we will be there. Grab your umbrella and wait out the shower with us.
