For 60 years, the Chiaha Arts Guild has been supporting artists, the arts, and arts education in Rome and Floyd County.
Founded in 1965, we organized the beloved Chiaha Harvest Fair for nearly six decades, bringing together artists and art lovers from across Northwest Georgia. But we've always been about more than just one weekend a year. Through our grant programs, we've invested over $30,000 in arts education in the last 15 years alone, supporting K-12 students, teachers, and individual artists.
As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, we're returning to our roots as a comprehensive year-round arts organization, expanding our impact through grants, educational programming, and community initiatives.
To champion artists, the arts, and arts education to build a more creative, connected, and prosperous Rome and Floyd County.
Art Everywhere. For Everyone.
