Arts Council Depot Tariff


Call the Arts Council for pricing information and availability. Ask about our special membership discounts.

 

The Arts Council Depot was built in 1914 as one of the only two-story railroad passenger stations in northeast Georgia. The building operated as a passenger station for the Jefferson and Southern Railroad until its purchase by the Gainesville Midland Railroad. In the 1940's passenger service began to wane and the facility was converted into a freight depot. It was a working freight depot for the Gainesville Midland Railroad and later under CSX Railroad until its purchase by the Arts Council in 1992.


The Arts Council renovated the original structure and added two additional buildings Additions were made to the depot to give it a grand entrance with beveled glass doors and crystal chandelier. The central addition overlooks the multipurpose outdoor patio area as well as the almost 2 acres of lush lawn, fenced for privacy.


The renovated depot is now home to The Arts Council, Inc. In addition to arts programming the Depot is available for rent on a limited basis for special events including, weddings, receptions, corporate functions etc.
