The Gadsden Arts Center & Museum chronicles the story of America’s journey from its first major art movement, Abstract Expressionism, begun in the 1940s, to the viral Pop Art explosion in the 1960s; a dramatic and literal shift in the fine art world away from the individual’s artistic expression to a concentration on mass culture and the media perspective. 

This exhibition includes artists whose work is the epitome of these movements such as Josef Albers, Robert Anuszkiewicz, Ilya Bolowsky, Ed Clark, Stuart Davis, Sam Francis, Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Gilliam, Hans Hofmann, Robert Indiana, Roy Lichtenstein, Joan Mitchell, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Theordoros Stamos, and Andy Warhol. Curated from the esteemed collections of Anderson Brickler Gallery, Art Bridges Foundation, Harn Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville, and the Florida State University Museum of Fine Art, this exhibition will highlight a portion of often misunderstood American art history.

Atmospheres is an exhibition of paintings by Randy Brienen from his latest series focusing on the sky and cloud formations. Brienen is a mainly self-taught painter who takes inspiration for his acrylic and oil paintings from the idyllic landscapes surrounding his home in North Florida. Brienen says the goal of this series is "to visually communicate my impressions of the ever-changing sky around us as it relates to color, form, and in some cases, reflective interaction with various land and water vistas."

The story of women's suffrage is a story of voting rights, of inclusion in and exclusion from the franchise, and of our civic development as a nation. Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence, a poster exhibition from the Smithsonian, celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment and explores the complexity of the women's suffrage movement and the relevance of this history to Americans' lives today.


Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery. This project received support from the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative.
