An Arts Center Aglow
On the evening of Thursday, December 2, The Cultural Arts Center of Douglasville/ Douglas County (CAC) was ablaze with excitement and talent from students throughout Douglas County. Douglas County art teachers held in-school contests among their students and submitted their top “Winter Wonderland” artwork into the gallery to be hung on the walls with care – and not a spot has been left empty! Come view the exhibit through December 17, and see every holiday treasure from snow globes and gingerbread to elves, sleighs, Wintery cabins, and polar bears!
Harvester Christian Academy hosted the evening with goodies galore and entertainment. The community rang in the season with piano players, ukulele performances and guitar solos. In the CAC’s Wintery Wonderland, four award recipients were chosen from four categories: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12. The awards are sponsored by The Red Cockerill Gallery in Austell.
Chapel Hill Elementary School, 1st grade, Sophia Lin

Families, remember that CAC gift certificates are perfect for hiding in a card, the tree, or stockings. If you plan on making memories with your friends or children next year, a CAC gift certificate may be the best opportunity for quality time. Every season brings new classes and opportunities for all ages to the CAC, with pop up opportunities through the year. More than any year before, this year might be the one to give the gift of experience.
