Open Canvas Arts

Athens Arts4All 2020 Canceled The first weekend in May is the start of the summer season for most artisans. Warmer temperatures, sunny skies and the Athens Art...s4All. The grounds of Harlan Rowe Middle School are filled with laughter, food, music and ART! Until this year. With concern for the artisans and visitors who make up the Arts4All community, the Athens Arts4All committee has decided to cancel the May 2 and 3, 2020, event. After considerable discussion, we do not want to potentially place anyone in harm’s way. In an effort to help our artisans and to continue to focus on the arts, we have created a Virtual Arts4All. Check out www.athensarts4all.com to find links to your favorite artisans, performances by outstanding musicians, crafting ideas for everyone in the community and our fantastic sponsors. Please check out updates on our website and Facebook page. We have plenty of activities planned to give everyone the Arts4All experience and keep May 1 and 2, 2021 open! www.athensarts4all.com

Brighten your quarantine with art! While we are currently not able to offer group paint classes, we have decided to offer something new. You can now order custom designs! Select your canvas size, project design and colors! We will make the project to your specifications and have it available for pick-up, delivery, or shipping to your home. Canvas options include 16x20 and 11x14 inch stretched canvas or canvas panels and 12x12 inch wooden sign boards or canvas panels. Select from over 100 of our designs or send us your own idea. Contact us for details on how to order your custom design.

Unfortunately due to recent state mandates we will be canceling some of our upcoming paint night events. If you are registered for a class we will be contacting you personally to make adjustments to your reservation. Gift cards are still available during this time, contact us for information on how to get yours. The Mad Hatter's Cafe will remain open for take-out, curbside pickup, and delivery during select hours.

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it out to our gallery show last night and a special thank you to the incredible artists, musicians, and host that helped to make it happen! We still have some art on display if you weren't able to make it, stop into The Mad Hatter's Cafe this week and check it out. :D
