The Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) is inviting its current member artists to submit up to three original works for an upcoming Foster Gallery Outreach Special Exhibit. This exhibit will be held at the Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC) in Grand Boulevard Town Center. This special themed exhibition is scheduled to be on view in the ECTC lobby from February 3 through June 5, 2026. The exhibition is designed to complement ECTC’s Season 13 productions, *Forever Plaid* and *Mystic Pizza*, aiming to create an immersive cultural experience that celebrates nostalgia, music, and Americana storytelling. The theme of the exhibition is “Retro Americana,” a visual celebration of classic American culture. Artists are encouraged to submit original works inspired by this theme, exploring subjects such as diners, jukeboxes, classic cars, small-town life, vintage fashion, pop culture icons, and the atmosphere of the “good old days.” Submissions may also reflect on themes like memory, nostalgia versus reality, and reinterpretations of old photographs. Established by the CAA in 2016, The Foster Gallery honors its founder, artist, and educator Susan Foster, and has historically served as a platform for local and regional artists. As the program expanded, the CAA transformed The Foster Gallery into a Visual Arts Outreach Program, dedicated to bringing art into public and community-centered spaces throughout Walton County. This outreach model offers artists greater visibility and opportunities to exhibit and sell their work while engaging with broader and more diverse audiences beyond a single gallery location. This specific exhibit at ECTC continues that mission by pairing visual art with live performance, inviting artists to engage in a unique, cross-disciplinary collaboration.
