Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art
Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art, Art institute in Augusta, Georgia, US.
The Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art occupies a Federal-style building with an elliptical staircase spanning three floors in downtown Augusta.
The institute started as the Augusta Art Club in 1937 when Olivia Herbert established it in memory of her daughter Gertrude Herbert Dunn.
