JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Johns Creek Chamber of Commerce commemorated the newly completed renovation of the Johns Creek Arts Center on Abbotts Bridge Road Feb. 22.
The facelift included repairing and finishing concrete floors throughout the entire 5,000-square-foot facility, and after nearly two decades, the interior walls were repaired and painted.
The renovation was entirely funded through a $96,000 grant from The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, which supports local non-profit organizations. The grant also funded a new press, allowing the Arts Center to offer printmaking classes.
Rich Lockhart, the Chamber’s vice president of community development, spoke at the ceremony’s reception. Friends of the arts center, members from the Chamber and board members of the Arts Center also were on hand.
“Without the tremendous support from The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, this renovation would not have been possible,” said Stephanie Donaldson, executive director of the Arts Center.
