The Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) is proud to announce that The Foster Gallery’s summer rotation of artists will be featured in a partner exhibition at the Coastal Branch Library located at 437 Greenway Trail in Santa Rosa Beach.

The public is invited to attend a special morning celebrating art and creativity on Saturday, September 7 from 10 a.m. - Noon. Meet the artists and enjoy some coffee and light breakfast bites all while connecting with fellow art enthusiasts in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. All ages are welcome. 

The selected featured artists are Gisselle Barnhart, Dorothea Berkhout, Stephanie Bloyd, Melody Bogle, Bill Chambers, Donnelle Clark, Elena Filshtinska, Linda Kernick, Wes Hinds, Lennon Michalski, Linda Kay Moriarty, Patti Overholt, Kristine Senft, Sierra Swan, and Diego Urioste. 

All rotation artists are members of the Cultural Arts Alliance. All exhibited works are for sale, and online for viewing and purchase at CulturalArtsAlliance.com/foster-gallery. 

The Foster Gallery is located at 13370 Emerald Coast Parkway (US Hwy 98) and is part of the Miramar Beach Creative Campus featuring regional artist rotations on a quarterly basis as well as special exhibitions. Currently The Foster Gallery is exclusively hosting the 2023 Southern Prize and State Fellowships for Visual Arts touring exhibition through September 14. This special exhibit showcases the talents of nine Southeastern visual artists — competitively selected by a panel of jurors from a pool of 800-plus applicants — who represent various disciplines and career levels.  

The public is invited to attend the Foster Gallery Féte and Artist Talk with Southern Prize Artist Nadia Meadows on Thursday, August 15 from 5 - 7 p.m. This intimate artist talk and visual storytelling session will be hosted by local artist Doug Foltz. Nadia’s sculptures facilitate intercultural exchange and understanding that defies social, economic and political norms. She does this by molding wood and uncommon mediums – such as human hair – creating interactive installations.

The gallery is open Tuesday - Saturday from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. For Coastal Branch library hours, please visit waltonlibraries.com.
