Swamp Gravy, established in 1992, is Georgia’s Official Folk-Life Play. The show features local stories, volunteer actors, and home-grown music. Swamp Gravy is performed in Cotton Hall Theater every October and March, with new scripts produced annually. The cast also tours and performs the show nationally. Swamp Gravy’s mission is to involve as many people as possible in a theatrical experience that empowers the individual, bonds the community and strengthens the local economy while crossing the boundaries of age, gender, race, sexual orientation, and social class.

New Life Learning Center houses our “Little Einstein’s School of Discovery” pre-school, “Swamp Stompers” after school and summer camp as well as our very own pottery painting studio. All of our programs offer a challenging academic curriculum, including art enrichment, social skills, and creative thinking. Our center is available to rent for birthday parties and special events.
The Millennium Mural Project began in 1999 when the Colquitt/Miller Arts Council received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The NEA chose one arts organization from each of the fifty states, and CMAC won for Georgia. Since then we have added 15 murals including the towering 100-foot Agricultural Icon Mural, and earned Colquitt the title of “Georgia’s First Mural City.”
