Town Center Fine Art Partners with Athens Habitat


Bruce Knecht
Tracy Jefferies

Town Center Fine Art is offering to donate a full 50% of sales of art work to Habitat from either Tracy Jefferies or Bruce Knecht, co-owners of the gallery, until the end of January in support of the Women Built project.

Town Center Fine Art gallery opened in downtown Watkinsville a year and a half ago. The gallery is owned by two artists, Tracy Jefferies & Bruce Knecht. They represent 18 artists from the region & the nation & are adding more. It is their goal to offer work by a select group of artist's all year round in an effort to help keep our artists in their studios, doing what they love - making art - so they can in turn offer quality work to collectors interested in owning art by dedicated, career artists. Artists are often asked to support myriad worthy causes in our community. As a gallery, they want to support non-profits as well as advocate for our artist's & the value they bring to the community. To reach that goal, they formed Town Center Fine Art Cares.

Town Center Fine Art Cares works this way- When one of Habitat for Humanity's supporters acquires art with the gallery, all the customer needs to do is say would like TCFA to give a donation to Athens Habitat & Habitat for Humanity will recieve a check for 5% of the proceeds from that sale! TCFACares is a year round program.


Visit Town Center Fine Arts to view the works by Tracy Jefferies or Bruce Knecht!

Give the Gift of Giving

During this time of year there are many ways to give meaningful gifts to others. Honor others by giving a donation on behalf of another person as a fun way to give a gift from the heart. According to the donation, your gift will provide nails, windows, paint, walls and more for local Habitat houses. A Christmas card for the honoree will be sent to you that explains the donation and gift made to Athens Habitat.

Please call 706.208.1001 for more information.
