Art has the power to bring people together, and that's more than true at Marietta Art Collective.
A group of Marietta artists connected when they realized they shared the goal of creating an art space close to home that offered ambiance and personality.
They searched for months and finally found the perfect spot in the former Coca-Cola warehouse. The old warehouse was ramshackle, dirty … and perfect.
The group set out to transform it under the direction of manager Kent Rosenbury, whose wife, Deb, had been traveling miles each day to a studio space in Chamblee.
Gallons of paint and tons of elbow grease later, the Marietta Art Collective is now open for business with 10 artists actively creating.
Visitors are welcome to come by and check out a piece of Marietta history and observe a new entrant in the Gem City’s vibrant art scene.
You will find excellent art and happy artists who are delighted to be able to create in the city they call home.
Deb Rosenbury has extensive experience in all things creative, including interior decorating, textile design and painting. Her work has been featured in several Southeast art shows and studios, including The Loft in downtown Marietta.
Stephanie O'Neal, a former UX designer, has returned to her creative roots: paint. Stephanie specializes in thematic collage and colorful realism.
Jill Hooley, who has 25 years of art education experience, offers beginner and intermediate art classes along with private lessons, open studio consulting, and private paint and sip events. Jill recently retired from teaching art at Marietta High School and now collaborates with the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art, Kennesaw Mountain and the Marietta Art Collective.
Elizabeth Mobley, who has been creating glass art since 2005, advanced her glass skills by studying at the Glass Fusing School in Italy, at the Corning Museum of Glass, and under prominent glass masters.
