Arts Consortium

Art has a unique way of bringing communities together, telling stories, and creating memorable experiences. Founded in 2019 by Visit Henry County, the Henry County Arts Consortium brings together local artists, creatives, and art-focused business leaders with a shared vision of enhancing the visitor experience through public art and creative placemaking initiatives. Through these efforts, the consortium helps showcase Henry County as a destination where creativity is celebrated, communities are connected, and local artists thrive.

From public art and community events to artist collaborations and cultural initiatives, the consortium works to make creativity more accessible while helping showcase the unique spirit of Henry County.
