Callanwolde Fine Arts Center, Arts center in Druid Hills, Atlanta, United States.
Callanwolde is an arts center housed in a Tudor Revival mansion surrounded by landscaped grounds spanning multiple acres. The building contains exhibition galleries, art studios, and classrooms spread across various rooms and wings designed for creative work.
The estate was built in 1917 and originally served as the residence of a prominent Atlanta businessman and his family. It later transitioned into a public arts center, expanding access to the property and its grounds for community use.
The center draws its name from the original estate owner and functions today as a creative hub for the local community. You can observe artists at work in studios, students engaged in classes throughout the buildings, and regular exhibitions and events that draw visitors from the surrounding neighborhoods.
The center is conveniently located in a residential neighborhood and easily accessible by car with ample ground space available. Visitors should check ahead for class schedules and exhibitions, as programming varies throughout the year.
The grounds include a small cafe where visitors can take a break while exploring the property and artworks. During winter months, interior designers use the mansion interiors as a temporary exhibition space to display holiday decorations.
