Callanwolde Fine Arts Center

Mission:

The Callanwolde Foundation, Inc., operating as Callanwolde Fine Arts Center, is a non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve, restore, and develop the Callanwolde Estate and to be a premier public participatory arts and cultural center.

About Us:

A busy, non-profit community arts center, Callanwolde offers classes and workshops for all ages in visual, literary and performing arts. Special performances, gallery exhibits, outreach programs and fundraising galas are presented throughout the year.

Callanwolde was built by Charles Howard Candler, President of The Coca-Cola Company (1916,1920-1923,) Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Emory University (nearly 30 years), and eldest son of Asa Griggs Candler who founded The Coca-Cola Company. Callanwolde is a magnificent Gothic-Tudor style mansion situated on a beautifully landscaped 12.5-acre estate.

Callanwolde provides an ideal setting for weddings, corporate meetings or any special occasion. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Callanwolde’s combination of history, architecture and art education makes it one of the most unique art centers in the country.

Callanwolde is also involved in community outreach, specializing in senior wellness, special needs, veterans and low income families.

Support is provided to Callanwolde Fine Arts Center through a grant appropriated by the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners, in part by DeKalb County Parks, Recreation & Cultural Affairs, and in part by the Georgia Council for the Arts through appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly. Georgia Council for the Arts is a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.

Callanwolde Fine Arts Center is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.
