If you want to engage on your creative side, look no further. The ART Station #bigshanty is the place for you and your family. Come see local artist displays till April 25th is the event celebration. 5pm to 8pm come meet the displayed art work and the creator 🎨 artist themselves.

A great place for kids to learn different art techniques. Lots of fun classes and camps, from pottery to Harry Potter. 10 of 10, highly recommend

Kennesaw Reviews

What was once a great venue has gone downhill due to poor management. The manager, Kim, is not knowledgeable and would rather not be there. I am pretty confident she has no experience dealing with any type of art, which is ironic considering this place is called the Art Station. All interactions with her leave a lot to be desired due to her attitude and unwillingness to engage with the community. I’m not sure what happened to the previous staff, but this place is stale and needs a massive revamp in leadership to keep the doors open.

★★★★★Christopher Shields

This is a beautifully run part of Cobb County . The staff was very kind to my preschooler, helping her go from scared to comfortable and happy within the first day of her camp. At the end of the week she came home asking to go back again and toting some very cute art pieces.

★★★★★Danielle Sheppard

The staff is absolutely wonderful. Every instructor that I've met here thus far is patient, motivational, artistic, and positive.
