Upcoming Events

Art Talk Live! with Elizabeth McFalls
Friday, October 2, 1-2pm

Elizabeth (Libby) McFalls, the exhibiting artist in the Zoe Golloway Gallery this fall, will give an in-depth talk about her work, a tour of her studio, and answer questions from the Zoom participants. Working in mixed mediums, McFall creates nonlinear visual narratives that examine issues of loss and family. Her work explores moments that blur the line between fact and fiction, life and death, humor and sorrow, moments that demonstrate the contradiction and complexity of life. Elizabeth McFalls is a Professor of Art and the Department of Art’s Art Foundation Coordinator at Columbus State University. She received her MFA in Print Media from Cranbrook Academy of Art and earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design.

Group Tours

Virtual Group Tours (4-20 people)

Join Education Director Anissa Ford for a presentation on our current exhibitions via Zoom for your private group. Participants will also have the opportunity to participate in in-depth conversations centered on the exhibitions at Gadsden Arts. Virtual Group Tours are free for museum members, $5 for nonmembers (waivers available, but fee can also be applied towards in-person admission).

Group tours at the museum (4-10 people)

Currently, Gadsden Arts is in Phase I of its reopening plan, allowing up to 10 people in the museum at one time. Small groups are therefore able to schedule a group tour, given that there are not reservations already on their requested date/time of the tour. Tours included with admission, but must be scheduled in advance.
