While you're out celebrating America’s 250th anniversary in Alpharetta, make a stop at City Hall to experience an extraordinary blend of art and history in the rotunda.

See an original Peter Max Liberty Series painting and a rare bronze re-casting of an early 1875 Statue of Liberty model by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi.

This limited-time exhibition is on display first at Alpharetta City Hall before moving to the Alpharetta Arts Center.

A snapshot from our Tango For Two performance! Soloist Alice Hong pictured with one of the incredible live painters, Sherri Richards.

Sherri shared that while painting and listening to Alice perform, “it was so beautiful that I almost cried.” Moved by the experience — and the artwork itself — Alice ended up purchasing the painting after the concert.

Grateful for our city's support of the Arts in Alpharetta...

When San Diego proposed cutting 85% of local arts and cultural funding, it wasn’t just a budget decision. It was a statement about what a city values — and who it’s willing to leave behind.

In a new San Diego Union-Tribune op-ed, Americans for the Arts CEO Erin Harkey and California for the Arts CEO Julie Baker are clear: the arts are not a line item you cut when times get hard. They are the infrastructure that keeps cities connected, economies moving, and communities whole.

“San Diego’s arts are not optional. They are essential. They are jobs, mental health support, and community infrastructure.”

San Diego isn’t alone. From local budget fights to federal threats against the National Endowment for the Arts and other cultural agencies, communities across the country are making the case that arts funding must be prioritized — from city halls to Congress.

Budgets are values. And right now, Americans for the Arts — alongside state and local partners — is making sure decision-makers know what’s at stake.
