This annual tradition of Gadsden Arts showcases recent art created by area artists that is juried from hundreds of submissions. Ninety-two works by sixty-nine artists living and working within 200 miles of Quincy were selected to be a part of the show. Exhibited works span the mediums of watercolor, embroidery, acrylic, oil, photography, clay, encaustic, wood, metal, glass, and serigraph. The juror for the 32nd Art in Gadsden is Katie Deits, Executive Director of FloridaCraftArt, a statewide organization in St. Petersburg that supports Florida’s artists and craftspeople. Deits will select the award winners, which will be announced live on Facebook Thursday, July 30th at 6pm.

We are so excited to bring a new approach to our 2020 summer camp program! Don’t worry, we’ll maintain our nature-based education method, which includes a healthy balance of indoor and outdoor time and implements hands-on immersive nature experiences. As a nature-based camp program, each week-long summer session will introduce concepts concerning our natural world today. As a camp team, students will work together to find solutions to some of the issues at hand. We have invited experts in the fields of water conservation, bee keeping, agriculture and farming, as well as in areas of tourism to share the work they do and how it all relates to the natural wonders of the Florida landscape. This year we’ll apply our hands-on immersive experiences, as well as the lessons learned from our guest speakers in the development of an end of week collaborative project for each week-long session of camp.
Test your fandom knowledge! Join us for fun trivia about your favorite fandoms with pictures, music, general knowledge, and more. Great for teens and adults!
Prizes sponsored by The Friends of the Library
