Representing three major cities and three small towns within the State of Georgia, these thirteen artists seek to initiate societal reaction and social change through their art. Georgia Green addresses broad concerns such as the fragile beauty of the world we inhabit, how we manage our natural resources, the environmental cost of our consumption, and the effects—both large and small—of our own life choices.

Known for the quality of their work as well as their commitment to this important issue, many of these Georgia artists are respected both nationally and internationally. Listed by city these artists are Atlanta artists Terri Dilling, Zoe Hersey, Pam Longobardi and Pandra Williams; Columbus artist Mara Scrupe; Cleveland artist Michael Marling DeCuellar; Milledgeville artist Ernesto Gomez; Savannah artists Henry Dean, Harry DeLorme, Julio Garcia, Rachel Green and Marcus Kenny; and Watkinsville artist Tracy Jefferies.
