LaGrange Art Museum

The LaGrange Art Museum collects and presents contemporary art by emerging and established artists. Housed in a former jail (circa 1892), the museum includes four galleries, offices, classrooms, kitchen, collection storage, and sculpture garden. It is more than 50 years old. A neighboring building houses the museum's educational activities. In the past two years, new gardens and fountains were completed around the museum, creating a beautiful plaza for events.

The museum has presented a number of traveling exhibits and has a strong education and outreach program. Our permanent collection houses a cross-cultural selection of more than 500 contemporary American artworks, including works by internationally recognized artists Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Larry Zox, and Camile Billops, as well as well-known Georgian artists Lamar Dodd, Howard Finster, Mildred Thompson, Larry Walker, Benny Andrews and John Lawrence.
