Grab some art supplies and head outside. Find something beautiful like a tree or a flower, and draw what you see. Swipe for inspiration!

Introducing CMA 2026 guest artists!

Gabriela Lena Frank, composer.

Born in Berkeley, California, Gabriela Lena Frank is a distinguished composer and pianist who draws profound inspiration from her diverse lineage, encompassing Peruvian-Chinese and Lithuanian-Jewish ancestry. Inspired by Bartók and Ginastera, she integrates indigenous South American folklore into Western classical frameworks. Her acclaimed compositions include “Leyendas: An Andean Walkabout” and the opera “The Last Dream of Frida and Diego”. A Latin Grammy winner and Guggenheim Fellow, Frank has been commissioned by major orchestras like the Chicago Symphony and soloists such as Yo-Yo Ma. In 2025, she completed a residency with the Philadelphia Orchestra and was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Beyond composing, Frank is a climate activist and educator who founded the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music in 2017. Recognized with a Heinz Award for breaking cultural and disability barriers, she also volunteers in rural schools and prisons. Frank holds degrees from Rice University and the University of Michigan.

We really can't say it any better than this. Brian's love of art and his ability to share it with others really struck a chord with us. 💔

With heavy hearts, we mourn the loss of Brian Dixon from Very Good Puzzle. If you’ve been to the market or one of the many events in Athens, then you likely have met Brian. His joyous, quirky and warm energy could be felt whenever in his presence. His smile and charm radiated throughout our community.

Not only was he a supporter and collector of the Arts, he was also a passionate creative. His spark will always be felt in those who got to spend time with him. He and his wife Paige have created a staple in the Arts community of Athens with their puzzles.

We ask that you give grace, support and love to Paige during this difficult time. We will be organizing ways for the community to support her and Very Good Puzzle so please look out for ways you can help.

May you puzzle with love in memory of Brian ❤️

Family Day is today, April 18, from 10 a.m. to noon. Discover the art of storytelling with interactive gallery activities, storytime in the lobby and a take-home book arts project. Please note: this Saturday is G Day, the University of Georgia football team's annual spring scrimmage game. Parking will likely be a little harder to come by than usual but should still be free in most lots. Heading to the game? Stop in on your way and make some art.

If you were to create your own book, what would it be about? Artist books are works of art in the form of a book. Swipe to see Joyce Wellman's “Mutual 3,5,7.” This artist book is part of her “Number Book” series that pays tribute to her mother, Hattie, who enjoyed “playing” mathematics.
