The exhibit 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 for submissions is "Retro Americana," which is described as a visual celebration of classic American culture. Artists are encouraged to submit original works inspired by elements like diners, jukeboxes, classic cars, small-town life, vintage fashion, and pop culture icons, capturing the feeling of the “good old days.” Submissions may also explore deeper themes such as memory, nostalgia versus reality, and reinterpretations of old photographs. The Foster Gallery was established by the CAA in 2016 to honor founder, artist, and educator Susan Foster. It has historically been a platform for local and regional artists. As the program has grown, the CAA has developed The Foster Gallery into a Visual Arts Outreach Program, aiming to bring art into public and community-centered spaces throughout Walton County. This outreach model helps artists gain increased visibility and opportunities to exhibit and sell their work by connecting with broader and more diverse audiences beyond a single gallery location. The special exhibit at ECTC continues this mission by pairing visual art with live performance, inviting artists to be part of a unique, cross-disciplinary collaboration. The exhibit location is the Emerald Coast Theatre Company at 560 Grand Blvd., Ste 200 Upstairs, Miramar Beach, FL 32550. Artists are not required to work at the host location, but they must be current members of the CAA (membership is not limited to local artists). The timeline for the exhibit is as follows: The call to artists runs from December 5, 2025, to January 20, 2026. Artists will be notified on January 23, 2026.
