Meet Community Artist Carrie Tankersley

Carrie Tankersley recently moved to Smyrna with her husband after spending the past two decades in Gwinnett County where they raised their daughter, now a student at UNG.  Originally from California, Carrie had a childhood immersed in the arts. Serving eight years in the Army provided additional exposure to art in Europe and all around the U.S not only in museums but within communities. Although Carrie works in the telecom industry her passion remains with the arts, stating, “I look forward to contributing to the Arts in a variety of ways within Smyrna”.

Carrie will be organizing a free Community Art project at the Smyrna Jonquil Festival, a mural of Smyrna inviting kids of all ages to contributing by painting a portion of the picture.  The mural will then be permanently displayed in the Community Center.   


Art at the Fountain is presented by the Smyrna Arts & Cultural Council with financial support provided by JRM Management.
