Next Sunday, The Art-Place Mountain View (3330 Sandy Plains Road) will mark its 30th anniversary with a free celebration for the community.
The event takes place from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and will include a gallery exhibition, music, a pottery demonstration, food and a theatre performance.
No reservations are required and all members of the public are invited.
The Art Place is a service of the Cobb Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs that offers a wide variety of arts classes and leases art and theatre space for community organizations.
Activities include summer camps for children and performances of the Center Stage North Theatre, a community theater group.
Cobb County converted restaurant space in East Cobb into an arts center in 1986, opening the Steeple House Arts Center the following year at Johnson Ferry Road and Paper Mill Road.
But demand for arts programming grew quickly, and the county embarked on building a larger facility that became The Art Place.
The volunteer support group Mountain View Arts Alliance was formed in 1993 to partner with The Art Place for programming, events and outreach.
The facility currently serves 20,000 members of the public on an annual basis, and holds a number of other community events.
