Altharetta Yeargin Art Museum Mission Statement 

The Altharetta Yeargin Art Museum mission is to provide opportunities for SBISD students, parents and the surrounding community, to experience the art of diverse cultures, to understand the cultural and historical significance of art and to develop criticial thinking and viewing skills.

We strive to further collect, preserve and display art objects, in order to provide interdisciplinary instruction and to promote artistic activity in the community.
