Inspired Space

Serenbe naturally attracts art and artists. Maybe it’s the gorgeous natural surroundings providing inspiration. Maybe it’s the Nygrens’ commitment to providing recurring funding to the arts. Whatever the inspiration, Serenbe overflows with creative talent.

As any artist knows, it can be difficult to find peer encouragement, studio space, or a place to showcase your work. Serenbe inspires and creates, and local artists in this community have found both a village and a space of their own at Chatt Hills Gallery.

What started in 2018 as a small artist cooperative has grown into a group of more than 20 artists from Serenbe and the greater Chattahoochee Hills, with works including oil painting, mixed media, photography, watercolor, jewelry, ceramics, and more. Members of the co-op support and encourage each other, whether it’s sharing techniques, developing processes, or getting feedback.

They inspire each other, and the gallery itself has inspired other arts initiatives in the community. There’s a place for artists to work and teach called Paint Space, and several residents have built out home studios. More and more energy surrounds Chatt Hills Gallery as Serenbe and the surrounding creative community grows and flourishes.

*Stop by the Chatt Hills Gallery on Selborne Lane to see all available works, or visit their website chatthillsgalmeryserenbe.com. *
