OPERATIONS STATEMENT

The Lyndon House Arts Center is operated by the Athens-Clarke County Department of Leisure Services as a center of excellence for the benefit and cultural enrichment of youth and adults. Gallery exhibitions, art classes, festivals, workshops, art meetings, and special events aim to provide area citizens with a positive experience in the visual arts, encouraging them to appreciate the arts and to develop their creative talents.

The Lyndon House Arts Center also places importance on youth education and outreach arts activities which reflect the values of integrity, quality, diversity and creativity held by our community. These values serve as a guide for the selection and exhibition of artwork for the galleries. As a local government program the Lyndon House Arts Center reserves the right to present in a controlled access area, or to deny exhibition of any material which may not be appropriate for all audiences.

Children visiting the galleries must be accompanied and supervised by an adult for the safety of the artwork and for art work content.

The Lyndon House Arts Center is a facility of Athens-Clarke County Leisure Services Department and is supported in part by the Georgia Council for the Arts (GCA) through the appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly. GCA also receives support from its partner agency, the National Endowment for the Arts.
