A Voice for Visual Arts

East Alabama Arts: Visual Voice started as a grassroots effort of local artsts interested in creating a welcoming environment of support and opportunity for the arts within our region. Together we are a voice for the visual arts community. Our goal is to strengthen and promote the artistic ecosystem of Eastern Alabama while encouraging the engagement of artists and art enthusiasts alike.

COMMUNITY VALUE

The Arts help shape and curate a sense of identity within a community impacting how we perceive and interpret culture. A community empowered by the arts will allow us all to grow, create, engage, celebrate, heal, tackle difficult conversations, help those find their inner voices, have access to classes and programs, and create art enthusiasts out of us all.

 

East Alabama Arts: Visual Voice hosted a second Juried Exhibition on March 1st, 2024 at the Southside Center for the Arts in Opelika. The theme for this show was Nostalgia. We asked that the pieces reflect something that brings about a feeling of Nostalgia. To further enhance the nostalgic environment, artworks from East Alabama Arts archives were incorporated into the exhibition.
