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 within 200 miles of Quincy, Florida, or former Gadsden County residents, are invited to apply to participate in the 38th 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.

Jan Austin-Hicken presents an exhibition of assemblages, collages, original hats, and jewelry, reflecting a lifelong devotion to making. Born in Greensboro, NC, and based in Tallahassee since the 1980s, Austin-Hicken draws on decades of collected materials, incorporating handmade papers, treasured fabric remnants, and found objects from her own closets and travels. With a compulsion to create, Austin-Hicken embraces the artistic life she always dreamed of, offering viewers a vibrant, intimate look into her world of material imagination.
