New Foster Gallery at The Market Shops Calls for CAA Artists

CAA's first member artist co-op gallery to open May 23 in The Market Shops! The Cultural Arts Alliance (CAA) of Walton County announces the opening of the Foster Gallery, a CAA member artist co-op gallery located in The Market Shops next to DIG Eatery and the new Ben & Jerry's. Twelve artists will be chosen to exhibit and work in the gallery during the Summer 2016 exhibit, May 23 - August 26.

A CAA member artist co-op art gallery is consistent with the CAA's goal to promote artistic excellence in the community and provides a venue through which our artist members can show and sell their art. Utilizing the CAA’s deep experience in managing and marketing many successful events and programs in the community, the gallery is expected to be a focal point for community gatherings. Hosting artist receptions and openings, the gallery should serve to enhance the Market Shops’ growing tenant mix, and provide economic benefit to both the participating artists and to support the CAA’s mission.

Named in honor of the late Susan Foster, co-founder of the Cultural Arts Alliance and one of our area's first professional artists, the Foster Gallery also symbolizes the support the CAA strives to give artists in our community, especially those that are members of the CAA. Twelve CAA member artists will be chosen to exhibit in the summer rotation, May 23 - August 26, 2016. Another round of artists will be chosen for the Fall Rotation.

The Foster Gallery will be open Monday – Friday, 12pm – 7pm (subject to change) in the Market Shops located at the entrance to Sandestin in Miramar Beach.
