The Art Station-Big Shanty

The Art Station - Big Shanty was built as a summer home for the Rooker family in 1943 and eventually became their permanent home. Originally located where Kennesaw Mountain High School now stands, the house was moved and (over a two-year period) transformed into the arts center we have today. With three multi-media classrooms, a pottery studio and a gallery, this creative facility is a cozy-yet-productive part of the Cobb County PARKS. Programming includes classes and workshops in visual arts during fall, winter, and spring quarters; art camps for children of all ages during the summer quarter; and exhibitions and arts-related events year-round. Both front and back galleries feature rotating art exhibits with a variety of media.
