The "Art Around Town" event highlights the talent nurtured within the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia. The school has a long history of fostering artistic growth since its establishment in 1937. Lamar Dodd, who the school is named after, significantly expanded the art department, increasing enrollment and securing funding from organizations like the Rockefeller Foundation. He also brought in artists-in-residence like John Held Jr. and Jean Charlot. The Lamar Dodd School of Art has multiple facilities including galleries that host rotating exhibitions of student, faculty, and professional work. These galleries serve as a platform for emerging artists and a place for experimentation. The school's main building is located at 270 River Road, Athens, GA, and is open to the public during normal hours. Tours are available for prospective students who want to explore the facilities.
