Meet ARTvision Atlanta's 2013 team!


Each of our team members have spurred ARTvision to record donations - please join us in thanking to the folks below as well as all of our volunteers.

Will Pollock (Founder, Director & Curator; displaying artist)

Will founded ARTvision in 2006 as a way to honor his aunt, Betsy Weedon, and to create an online platform for artists to express both their creativity and generosity in a single stroke. Since its inception, ARTvision has raised nearly $26,000 for charitable causes. Will is a freelance writer, editor, photographer, musician, columnist and blogger based in Midtown Atlanta.
