Athens' arts offerings will expand in the coming months with the reopening of the Georgia Museum of Art in early 2011, which will add a larger scope to the already thriving local arts scene. Athens is home to numerous local galleries and museums, including the Lyndon House Arts Center and ATHICA: Athens Institute for Contemporary Art. Athens' downtown retail shops also feature a diverse range of local artwork, such a R. Wood pottery found at Toula's downtown.
Athens is definitely worth the trip if you are interested in the arts. It's a destination with thriving arts & cultural scenes, and if you haven't been, you need to come visit!
