Hudgens Center for Art & Learning

Founded over 35 years ago, we are a nonprofit dedicated to spreading the love of art and learning throughout the Greater Atlanta area. 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. Renamed The Hudgens Center for Art & Learning in 2016, the organization was first incorporated in 1981 as the Gwinnett Council for the Arts. In 1993 the organization moved into its current facility which boasts 34,000 square feet of exhibition and education space, including the award-winning Al Weeks Sculpture Garden, and became known as the Jacqueline Casey Hudgens Center for the Arts.

The Hudgens Center for Art & Learning is dedicated to bringing art lovers, leaders, and learners together through quality programs and exhibits. The center accomplishes this through visual arts initiatives, such as year-round fine art exhibits and classes for all ages; as well as community arts initiatives which reach out to underserved students and residents throughout Gwinnett.
