PutnamArts is a volunteer program dedicated to bringing hands-on arts opportunities to people living in and/or near Putnam County, Georgia. PutnamArts is sponsored by the Eatonton-Putnam Arts Foundation (EPAF). We rely on the support of Putnam area individuals, businesses, institutions and modest class fees for our continuation.

Our focus is on the types of arts and crafts you can do yourself -- writing, painting, gardening, acting and soon, many others -- rather than the kind you watch others do, such as concerts or exhibitions. We call this participatory arts. EPAF also sponsors a rich calendar of performance arts throughout the year. See their website, www.epaf.org for more information about those many opportunities.

We need your support! If you can teach a class, assist with advertising, make a financial donation, attend a class or help in other ways, or if you have suggestions how we can make PutnamArts even better, please let us hear from you. You can contact us at artist@putnamarts.com.

PutnamArts began in the spring of 2005 assisted by a grant from the Grassroots Program of the Georgia Council for the Arts through the appropriation of the Georgia General Assembly and in partnership with the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center. Our goal is to continue to grow and thrive, providing more opportunities to Putnam area residents for self-enrichment through the arts.
