Andalusia Institute

The Andalusia Institute, the public arts and humanities center of Georgia College, supports Flannery O’Connor scholarship, nourishes writing and the creative arts, and engages community members with the arts and humanities. In doing so, we recognize with Flannery O’Connor that the artist’s “aim is still communication, and communication suggests talking within a community.”

“Fiction is about everything human and we are made out of dust, and if you scorn getting yourself dusty, then you shouldn’t try to write fiction. It’s not a grand enough job for you.”

Flannery O’ Connor, “The Nature and Aim of Fiction,” Mystery and Manners
