Booth Museum Opens Downtown Gallery

An effort to highlight the talents of local and regional artists, Booth Western Art Museum's Downtown Gallery in Cartersville, which will sell artwork, opens Friday.

An effort to help highlight the talents of local and regional artists and move Cartersville towards becoming a more art-focused community, Booth Western Art Museum's Downtown Gallery is set to open Friday and Saturday with receptions.  

"We saw a need to have a space for talented artists associated with the Booth to sell their work," Executive Director Seth Hopkins said in a statement. "We also wanted a larger space to showcase the reproductions of artwork in the Booth collection we have for sale. 

"Cartersville is becoming a destination for art experiences and Downtown Gallery gives them an opportunity to take art home with them."
