Very inspiring to a new artist with a vision

I am so thankful we have a top notch Art Gallery in our town that offers a variety of classes for those who are just starting to paint or have been painting for years. And if you haven’t ever viewed the art gallery please make time to walk through. There is always beautiful works of art at any given time

I took my first formal painting class here and it has transformed how I paint and instilled confidence with me as I continue to learn more techniques. I have shared a photo of one of my dogs and the painting I did during my second class. The staff is friendly and the instructors very helpful and knowledgeable. I have also enjoyed being able to view the art in the gallery with my new found perspective. There is some truly remarkable work on their walls!

Our community -- and literally the whole North Georgia region -- is so fortunate to have an art center of this quality so accessible and welcoming. Theres something for everyone, whether beginning artist, seasoned artist or collector. Exhibits, workshops, classes and camps are always fresh and engaging.

The Quinlan is a very important element in Gainesville s quality of life. I have been honored to participate in several shows in this wonderful facility, and it has always been an enjoyable experience. The art is staged both pleasingly and professionally.-Jane Hemmer

This wonderful Art Center is such a vital part of the arts community in North Georgia. The Exhibitions, the volunteers, the Board members, the Staff, the Georgia Art League, and workshop instructors are top notch. The Executive Director, Amanda McClure, is an excellent and very creative leader. Nationally known artists and Societies, such as the Georgia Watercolor Society and the American Society of Marine Artists have had and will have future exhibitions at this venue, because the galleries have the best lighting and wall space. The Quinlan Visual Arts Center is so important in many peoples lives in North Georgia. Visitors to Gainesville, GA should put this on their must see list.

I recently discovered the center when my class of 4th graders earned an Arty Party for great attendance. It was a lot of fun and the students loved it! We also were able to view a fantastic display of artwork by local schools. My husband and I visited a few weeks later to view the most recent display that featured portraits and other artwork by local artists and we were very impressed. They offer many programs to help develop your inner artist, and we were surprised that there is no charge to walk through to enjoy the current featured art work! Gainesville has a real treasure in the Quinlan Visual Arts Center.

Warm and friendly staff.....best gift shop in Georgia! The galleries are top notch!Honoring artist/mentors ( like Joseph Perrin ) is a very thoughtful way to show supporting the Arts in Georgia!

Excellent exhibit

I have literally grown up at the Quinlan. I started at pottery camp, then interned, then exhibited artwork, now my children are attending the summer art camps. I have come full circle.What a treasure we have in Gainesville GA!Lucky us!

Im very disappointed with this organization with regards to understanding. My daughter was scheduled to have her wedding at this establishment on 10/21/2019 she paid her $500 deposit as requested unfortunately she has been faced with a tragedy due to the sudden passing of her grandmother. She is distraught over the ordeal and had decided not to have a wedding but Quinlan Visual Arts Center has decided against a refund. You would think that such a prestigious organization would have a better understanding more sympathetic.

Quality fine art to be enjoyed by all. The rotation of new exhibits provides a year-round experience. The arts is open to the public without charge.

Attended the Georgia Art League Demo with Jill Haack and enjoyed it!Looking forward to upcoming classes!!

I have had the pleasure to work with Quinlan, for several years. Great communication and programs. 5 stars

I just finished my first painting class taught by Joan Darflinger and I just loved it. Joan is very patient, gives great instructions, and is a very talented artist. I learned so much and I had a lot of fun. I hope to take more classes in the future.

Great place to take art workshops. Plenty of room and equipment. Just took a great class from Qiang Huang here. Nice staff. Good restaurants and hotels nearby.

Quinlan has been wonderful to work with. The art workshops shared with our students are top-notch!

Great regional arts center with a well-rounded exhibition schedule, classes for the everyone in the family, special events and a gem of a gift shop.

A real community gem! Wonderful exhibits and awesome gift shop and other programs.

Beautiful faciilty committed to making the arts, learning and inspiration available to the community through art exhibitions, classes and workshops and more.
