Mayor Mary Robichaud spotlights Roswell's arts programs on city podcast
Summary
On the city podcast "Inside Roswell," Mayor Mary Robichaud and arts staff outlined year-round offerings at the Visual Arts Center and Art Center West, pitching arts programming as part of the Parks & Recreation mission and inviting residents to register for classes.
Mayor Mary Robichaud opened the "Inside Roswell" podcast by framing the episode as part of National Parks and Recreation Month and saying the city's parks programming includes arts as well as sports and trails. "I'm Mary Robichaud, mayor of Roswell, Georgia," she said in the episode introduction.
The guests—Emily Harrison Ash, supervisor at the Roswell Visual Arts Center, and AJ Argentina, area coordinator for the creative arts division—described a suite of classes, workshops and exhibits aimed at residents of all ages. "Come play with us," Ash said near the episode's close, inviting listeners to try studio programs. The episode highlighted dedicated facilities (ceramics studios, a forge, a glass-fusing area) and ongoing events that support local artists and community engagement.
Robichaud emphasized why the topic matters to residents: integrating arts into parks programming promotes social connection and mental well-being while offering hands-on recreational opportunities. The hosts encouraged listeners to check the city's registration page for class schedules and openings.
