LIVING Artfully

The Arbor Acres art collection is one of the largest private collections in Forsyth County, bringing daily inspiration into the places residents live, gather, and create. Here, art is part of everyday life through theater productions, creative programs, cultural outings, and hands-on opportunities to paint, sew, turn wood, sing, dance, act, or write.
