The Nest is an innovative arts incubator and retail gallery located inside the old rectory on College St. This vintage Victorian house was renovated in late 2011 and opened in January as the new Norcross Arts Center. The Norcross Arts Alliance has hired the totally hip and creative Lori Sturgess as The Nest's director - Lori is bringing art classes and workshops and all sorts of neat things to do into the center. Lori loves to talk about The Nest, so to reserve a spot in one of the workshops, or just to find out more about what the center is all about, call her at 678-429-3005 or Lori.Sturgess@gmail.com. We promise you'll be inspired!
