Fountainhead Art Space Fountainhead Art Space will have a ribbon cutting ceremony on September 16th at 11:30 am, followed by Open Studios all weekend during the 50th Anniversary Roswell Arts Festival. They will also be joining Roswells First Friday Art Walk. Fountainhead Art Space was founded by three Atlanta artists: Rae Broyles (Roswell), Andrea Costa (Milton) and Penny Treese (Decatur). Theyve created a group whose focus is on mentoring local artists and giving them opportunities to attend workshops, network with other artists, show their work and more. We are located above SODA Salon on Historic Roswell Square. The space is perfect for inspiring local artists to find their voice, says founder Rae Broyles. We are offering a service to the community that has been needed for quite some time. Studio space has been at a minimum, and the opportunity for artists to network, explore unique painting techniques and push themselves beyond the status quo has been next to impossible to find. Artists tend to work alone, and there is a real benefit in being able to connect with other artists. Founder Rae Broyless work has been shown nationally including exhibits in Los Angeles, Miami National Airport, Michigan, Cincinnati and New York City. They are located at 595A Atlanta Street in Roswell. For more information, visit FountainheadArtSpace.com, or call 770-714-8841.
