Cara Studios is located in the historic town of Barnesville, Georgia just fifty miles south of midtown Atlanta. Artist
and owner, Cara, has established an unusual inviting atmosphere for her studio
in an old Carnegie Library. The town's beloved building was
built
by
philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. It is now listed on the National
Historic Register. Cara has preserved the beautiful
accouterments of the
building and the ambience of the 1910 era. She adapted it for reuse
as an artist's salon providing a studio/gallery , reception and performance space and meeting
area for art groups. The upper floor is a residence for the artist.
In recent years, many of the cultural events in Barnesville have taken place at
Cara Studios. Cara is well known for her cultural art performances that feature
her large paintings with music and poetry. The artist has also created a
sculpture garden on the property. Group tours, workshops, and cultural
art performances are scheduled.
