Using your own talents and appreciating
the artistic work of others are essential ingredients in the meaningful and fulfilling human experience. In addition, enabling children to experience the arts is a privilege we must not neglect.

The Henry Arts Alliance began in 1991 by
Dr. Edward S. Bridges as a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to sponsor and encourage cultural and educational activities in Henry County, Georgia and
the
surrounding areas.

Inspired by the vision
of Dr. Bridges,
the first Alliance Board included Judge Del Buttrill, Mrs. Claire Crumbley, Mr. Joe Hiett, Mrs. Laura Hinton, and Mr. Ron Townsend. The community remains indebted to these founders for their visions and commitment to the arts.
