Upcoming Exhibitions

The Art in Gadsden Juried Exhibition is an annual tradition that began more than three decades ago to promote the work of our region’s artists and bring fine art to families in Gadsden County. Artists living in North Florida, South Georgia, South Alabama, or former Gadsden County residents, are invited to apply to participate in the 39th Art in Gadsden. This exhibition draws visitors and patrons from across the region each year, showcasing art by the area’s top artists. New and returning, established and emerging artists are welcome to apply.

This exhibition features the work of Valerie Goodwin, an internationally recognized fiber artist, architect, author, and educator. Her art quilts explore the connections between place, history, memory, and community. Drawing on her background in architecture, Goodwin transforms maps, aerial views, and landscapes into layered textile artworks. She combines quilting, stitching, and mixed-media to create images of real and imagined places. Goodwin’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in museum and private collections across the United States. She is Professor Emerita of Architecture at Florida A&M University, where she taught for more than 25 years. Through her work, Goodwin shows how contemporary quilting can tell stories about the places we inhabit and remember.

Brinda Pamulapati brings together two fields often seen as opposites – mathematics and art. Pamulapati’s vibrant work balances the structure of math and the spontaneity of art to create dynamic abstract pieces that appear to move with bright contrasting colors and intricate textures. She is inspired by the contrast between the light from the sky against the textures of the Earth. Pamulapati’s artistic practice is complemented by her work as the owner and managing director of Venvi Art Gallery in Tallahassee, Florida.
