2025 Fellowship Spotlight

January 12 – March 27, 2026

This exhibition comprises newly created work by Alabama-based artists awarded 2025 Fellowships from the Alabama State Council on the Arts. Across a variety of craft, processes, and techniques, the 2025 Fellowship Spotlight showcases the balance of diversity and unity within each artist’s vision.

Erin Dailey’s collages explore identity of the creative self through form, shape, and color. Intersecting with Dailey's sense of color, Nancy Goodman’s quilts are influenced by solid, saturated colors and shapes. Interrogation of ideas focused in community, built environment, and visual narration merge within Will Jacks’ photography, Bethany Moody’s fiber works, and Cynthia Wagner’s installation and collages. Human connection and observation are at the core of Michael Swann’s figurative paintings and Kat Griffith’s bronze sculpture. Narratives of the contemporary Deep South in Charity Rachelle’s photographs and Roscoe Hall’s painting allow for an investigation into social complexities and conformity.

Although the artists reside in various parts of the state, the 2025 Fellowship Spotlight unveils a duality in present-day Alabama art that binds the artists together. At the heart of this exhibition is an exploration of color, community, and narration that coalesce into visual language for all.
