THE GUS COLLINS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Yandell "Gus" Collins, (the grandfather of a beloved art student at Art Matters, Kate Warren,)was a prolific artist!
Gus had an art exhibit during one of Art Matters' very first Gallery Hop Events. He sold some pieces and he was thrilled. When this beloved artist passed away on February 16, 2015, at the age of 82, his family began to contribute to the scholarship fund in his name. They later had a wonderful fundraising event and sold many of his wonderful paintings, which continued to fund the Scholarship Program that allows children who love art, but cannot afford art lessons, to attend Art Matters for free. This is very enriching for us at Art Matters and we hope to always continue the scholarship program, remembering Gus Collins and spreading the joy and color and love for art and children that he had. Young Artists and their families may apply for the scholarship by clicking this link:

ART GALLERY:
ART MATTERS TO ADULTS who create art and need a place where their art can be displayed and appreciated. Art Matters Community Art Studio is an inclusive art gallery that seeks to identify and promote established artists in our community as well as those who are not as well known and whose work has not yet been recognized. Art Matters charges no commission on art sales, in an effort to support local artists. Art Matters is a member of The BG Gallery Hop. BG Gallery Hop events are free to the public, provide refreshments and keep visitors up to date with with what is happening in the art community. Giving the unique gift of original art supports the local economy and can be a sound investment over time.
Artists interested in exhibiting at Art Matters may call for an appointment.
Please bring a portfolio with a body of work.
Exhibits are scheduled approximately one year in advance.
ART that REALLY MATTERS: Each summer, Art Matters invites young artists to do something a bit different for Summer Art Camps. In keeping with our mission statement to "teach tolerance and promote peace through exploration of art across cultures and eras," at least half of our half-day summer sessions are paired with a worthy cause to which Art Matters donates 10% of all revenue. Art Matters will continue to provide art experiences in which children can not only create art and learn about art, they can also connect art to real life issues that young people care about.
The schedule for Summer Art Camps is revealed here on this website each March!
