History

In 1999 the arts council purchased the historic Teasley Building on Hartwell's downtown square, thanks to the generous donation from Bob and Evelyn Lundberg. Volunteers raised money and donated hours of hard work to renovate the building. According to the council's newletter of June 2000, "some termite damage was replaced, as was much of the drywall. The original cove molding was reinstalled." Three restrooms, new heating and air-conditioning, and track lighting were installed. Refinished heart pine floors, baseboards, and doors preserved the turn-of-the-century aesthetics. With strong community support, the new arts center was ready to announce an open house and exhibit on June 22, 2000. The popularity of the new arts location and its programs led volunteers to begin further renovation in 2011. The results: a fully equipped catering kitchen, exhibit panels for the gallery, and new lighting. More recently, the arts council accepted the donation of the adjoining building.
