GeorgiaThe Lamar Dodd Art Center is the art facility of LaGrange College, a three-story building of about 32,000 square feet completed in 1982 with support from the Callaway Foundation. It is named for the painter and art educator Lamar Dodd, who grew up in LaGrange and received his earliest formal art instruction at the college; in the late 1970s he donated a retrospective of his own work along with pieces from his private collection, and a gallery displays his art permanently.
