Terri Turner and Jason Fowler
March 2026
This month the North Georgia Arts Guild was treated to an amazing presentation by Children’s Book Author, Terri Turner and her friend and collaborator, Children’s Book Author and Illustrator, Jason Fowler. Both authors discussed how they became interested in creating children’s books and Jason elaborated on the process he used for illustrating his, and other author’s books. The presentation was very interesting and informative and the audience asked numerous questions. Terri is a resident of Lakemont , GA and has written Henna the Honeybee, which is set in Rabun County. Jason, who lives in Clarksville, GA, is not only a writer and an illustrator, has self-published many books for himself and others.

Scholarships
The Guild’s long-time goal was realized in 2015 with the establishment of the NGAG Art Scholarship Program. Through it, we provide educational financial assistance to artistically talented graduating high school seniors. The first scholarships were awarded to four outstanding students in 2016. The program continues to benefit students through funding from the annual fundraiser, Sassafras Artisan Market, our generous sponsors, and individual donations.
To date, 29 scholarships, each $1000 have been awarded to graduates from four area high schools:
Rabun County High School, Rabun Gap Nacoochee School, Habersham Central High School, and Tallulah Falls School.
Congratulations 2025 Scholarship Recipients
This years selectees represent the ideals of our organization. Not only do they have remarkable past achievements but exciting future plans.
