Current Exhibit

The Chattahoochee River Art Exhibition

Note: Installation date: March 30, 2026

Artist: Gregg Bauer

The Chattahoochee River Art Exhibition explores the Chattahoochee River as it flows through the Atlanta region, serving not only as a vital source of drinking water but also as a natural sanctuary for residents to enjoy and explore.

Each painting highlights a different stretch of the river — from wooded banks and rocky shoals to wide, reflective passages where the city skyline feels both distant and present. Locations such as the Palisades, Cochran Shoals, Morgan Falls, and Johnson Ferry are among the Chattahoochee River parks represented in this collection.

Through these landscapes, Gregg Bauer captures the many ways people connect with the river, including hiking trails, paddling waterways, and fishing along the banks throughout the seasons. The paintings celebrate the beauty of the Chattahoochee while encouraging appreciation for the fragile ecosystem that supports this treasured natural resource.

About Gregg Bauer's Work

Gregg Bauer is a fine artist and graphic designer based in Sandy Springs, Georgia, where he lives on the banks of Marsh Creek with his wife, Daniella.

His creative career spans more than 40 years in graphic design, including work with organizations such as CNN, Cartoon Network, Major League Baseball, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival, and Atlanta institutions including The Varsity and Mary Mac’s Tea Room.

For more than a decade, Bauer served as an adjunct professor at the Savannah College of Art and Design on the Atlanta campus in the Advertising Design department, working with emerging creatives from around the world.

Throughout his design career, Bauer continually pursued fine art by creating watercolor and pastel landscapes and portraits. After moving to Sandy Springs five years ago, he began painting more extensively in acrylics and oils while exploring the trails and parks along the Chattahoochee River.

His work has captured landscapes across Georgia, including Cumberland Island, as well as scenes inspired by memories of Ohio’s rolling hills and Amish countryside. Travels to Cape Cod, Europe, and Brazil have also influenced his sketches and paintings.

Most recently, Bauer’s work has focused on the Chattahoochee River and the natural beauty found along its banks.
