Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Southern Heartland Arts, Inc.,  a non-profit organization 
created to promote the love of the visual arts in our community.
We are located on the historic town square in Covington, Georgia, an Atlanta, Georgia suburb.

About Us
Southern Heartland Arts, Inc. was established as a 501(c)3,
not-for-profit organization in 1988
by a small group of local artists interested in the visual arts.
According to its constitution, the principal mission
is to “promote the love of art in all forms,
and to encourage all art interests in home and community”.
There are two separate entities under the umbrella organization:
Southern Heartland Art Guild and Southern Heartland Art Gallery.
Guild membership is open to anyone with an interest
in the visual arts, whether artist or appreciator of art.
Join the Guild!
The gallery offers members an art facility
in which to display and sell their works
as well as opportunities for the general public
to enhance their skills and knowledge
through on-site lessons, workshops, demonstrations
and weekly drop-in painting sessions.
The gallery is filled with fine art and smaller
gift items and cards, perfect for any occasion.
From paintings to jewelry, pottery,
photography, wood, and folk art -
the work is truly exceptional, highly collectible
and will be treasured for years to come.
We offer quality custom framing and carry a large array
of artist’s grade art supplies, as well.
Whenever you have a gift need or want to treat yourself
to something truly special,
please remember the Southern Heartland Art Gallery.

Continuing Education
The gallery offers a variety of weekly classes
for adults and children,
as well as periodic workshops by renowned artists.
Free critiques and demonstrations
are given at many of the general guild meetings.
Members can also take advantage of weekly,
drop-in painting sessions
with gallery artists and a library containing
a wide range of art books and magazines.
Gallery:
Southern Heartland Art Gallery is a cooperative,
which is owned and operated by a group of member artists.
New gallery members must be juried in
by the current gallery artists and must sign
a contract agreeing to abide by all gallery guidelines
for a period of one year.
(Gallery Membership Information)
Guild members who are not gallery co-op members have
the opportunity to display and sell their works,
on a rotating basis, at the Southern Heartland Art Gallery.
