OUR STORY
ARTucker is dedicated to showcasing Georgia artists and makers while cultivating a vibrant arts community in Tucker, Georgia.
Formed by Patricia "Patty" Kurtz Young in May 2015, with its first show at Tucker Recreation Center, ARTucker’s intent has been to produce for the public an art show with local artists in a friendly, affordable venue.
Originally, net profits from the events were distributed to local groups, included the Tucker Recreation Center, the Tucker Art Guild, and Tucker High School's Art Program.
In early 2019, ARTucker was awarded 501c3 nonprofit status. Patty Young continues as the President of the organization and works with the local artists and businesspeople who form the Board of Directors.
Visitors to our shows are primarily from Tucker and surrounding areas; events average 1000+ attendees in a relaxed yet professional atmosphere.
ARTucker provides artists with opportunities to present their creations, and local clientele support the artists and affords them the opportunity to continue following their passions.
Through contribution of both raffle items and monies, community sponsors have generously supported ARTucker in the past, and we look forward to mutual promotion in the future.
ARTucker halted shows during the Covid pandemic and resumed activity in 2022 with our first outdoor show at Peters Park.
2023 and 2024 found us at the Tucker Church Street Green Space park. We liked it so much, we are returning in April 2025.
