Thomasville Center for the Arts takes art in the open in order to empower artists and transform our community – it is installed or staged in public spaces, and drives economic development.  Art in the Open brings our community tribes together, elevates their talent and generates a sense of excitement in our downtown.

Art in the Open is presented in three ways. During Fall Wildlife Arts Festival – a community-driven contemporary twist on the wildlife sporting culture, during Spring FLAUNT – a month-long exhibition of public art tribes in the historic downtown Creative District, and special projects – using a public art installation to appeal to an unconventional or unique audience, held in “other” spaces.
