October = River Clay Fine Arts Festival in downtown Decatur! We could not be more excited because it is a great opportunity to feature our art students!
The 2026 Emerging Artists Exhibition is now open! The exhibit features Calhoun Community College and Athens State University students who take classes at the Alabama Center for the Arts. This free exhibit is in our Walking Gallery (Visual Arts building) and is open to the public.
This year’s exhibit features the works of 15 students with a total of 38 pieces of art, many of them available for purchase. The Exhibition is held in conjunction with the juried River Clay Fine Arts Festival held in historic downtown Decatur on the grounds of City Hall.
