The Colquitt County Arts Center
Being transformed from the old Moultrie High School, the arts center is a facility where young and old may learn music, dance, and the arts. The Colquitt County Arts Council was formed in 1977 by a group of arts minded citizens who wished to encourage participation and enjoyment of the arts among the citizens of Colquitt County. Activities at the Arts Center are varied as the people who live in the county. Programming includes Visual Arts, Performing Arts and Literary Arts. Classes are offered year round in dance, music, theater and art. Special programming is scheduled throughout the year to provide and “enrichment” and extended education for our community. The newly renovated ballroom is available for rental. If you have any questions, please contact the Arts Center at 229-985-1922 or email them at artcenter@hotmail.com. The Arts Center is located at 401 7th Avenue SW, Moultrie, Georgia 31768.
