State Art Collection

Georgia’s State Art Collection is an extensive, vibrant chronicle of work created by Georgia artists from the 1970s to the 1990s. Each piece in the collection was juried by a panel of experts. The Collection is a state asset that serves as an educational tool, preserves the state’s artistic heritage and disseminates knowledge about the art and artists of Georgia. Select images from the Collection are included on each page of Georgia Council for the Arts’ website.

Beginning in February 2025, a curated traveling exhibition of works from Georgia’s State Art Collection will be available to rural and small communities across the state. Visit the "Reimagine: Contemporary Georgia Artists" page to learn more about the tour and find a location near you.

Media represented in the Collection include:

  • Painting
  • Pottery/Ceramic Art
  • Fiber Art
  • Sculpture
  • Photography
  • Traditional Arts
  • Jewelry Arts
  • Works on Paper
