Our Story

In early 2015, American Artist and Master Sculptor Andy Davis moved his art studio and gallery from an old cotton mill on Macon Street into an unoccupied hosiery factory on the corner of Sims and Hood Streets in McDonough, Georgia.

Andy assembled an inaugural group of local artists and together they transformed the 20,000 square foot facility into 5 artist studios, a proscenium style theater, a dance school, an art gallery, and potential green space for outdoor events.

By the spring of 2015, they had almost completely renovated the facility. Andy had set up his studio and atrium for birds within the back of the building, and the six artists he selected began working in theirs as well.

And then, on the cusp of the public opening of the center, Andy was killed in an accident while sitting at a stop light on his motorcycle in McDonough. His family drew to his side and he passed away surrounded by his loved ones on July 12th, 2015. A beautiful memorial celebration was held in the center, in which over 350 people attended. So many people came, that we had to transmit the service to the performing art center. We named the Gallery in his honor–The Andy Davis Gallery.
