Hudgens Center for Art and Learning
Founded over 35 years ago, we are a non-profit dedicated to spreading the love of art and learning throughout Gwinnett County.
Our facility helps adults and children discover the power of imagination with fine art exhibitions, arts enrichment classes, self-guided tours, and community outreach programs.
What started as kitchen table chit-chat has grown into a dynamic and vibrant force in the community.
Our organization was first incorporated in 1981 as the Gwinnett Council for the Arts. In 1993 the organization moved into its current facility which boasts of 34,000 square feet of exhibition and education space, including the award-winning Al Weeks Sculpture Garden.
After a rebranding in 2016 to emphasize our focus on arts education, today we are known as the Jaqueline Casey Hudgens Center for Art & Learning.
Building on the momentum of our rebrand, we are committed to reinvigorating the imaginations of Gwinnett County.
We are ramping up our community outreach with plans to extend financial aid opportunities for Title 1 schools. We are also working to build more robust partnerships with community non-profits such as Rainbow Village and Hi-Hope.
We will continue to showcase artwork from our permanent collection; collaborate with local and national artists and curators to develop dynamic exhibitions for our galleries; and offer a range of arts enrichment activities in our classrooms.
