WHO IS BETTY FOY SANDERS? 

The contributions of Betty Foy Sanders to the advancement of the arts in Georgia are extraordinary.  A native of Statesboro and former First-Lady of Georgia, Betty Foy Sanders began her academic career at Georgia Southern University.  An accomplished artist, her paintings exemplify color mastery and an intense investigation of nature. 

The department was officially named the Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art in 1999 in recognition of Mrs. Sanders’ dedicated support.  The generous scholarships, student travel opportunities, and curation of the Georgia Artists Collection are but a few of the reasons we are proud to be honored as the Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art.
