ART Station is in its 35th year of providing quality arts programs to its community. The organization was founded in 1986 by Artistic Director, David Thomas, who formed a group of artists, government, corporate and community leaders from the Stone Mountain (Atlanta) community to form the ART Station Contemporary Arts Center and Theatre Company. The Center is located in Stone Mountain Village, a small Southern town on Atlanta’s east side and adjacent to Stone Mountain, Park, the largest tourist attraction in the State of Georgia. The founding group completed a 3.5 million dollar campaign to purchase and renovate the historic Trolley Car Barn into a contemporary arts center. The Trolley Car Barn was built by the Georgia Railway and Power Company in 1913 and the building served as a terminus for the trolley car system from Atlanta to Stone Mountain which was called the Atlanta Rapid Transit . The building was renovated into a multi-disciplinary arts center.
