The Wiregrass Museum of Art and Visit Dothan have partnered to launch a new rotating art exhibition series in downtown Dothan, Alabama. The series will feature quarterly exhibitions of Wiregrass-area artists at the Visit Dothan office, starting with Hannah Edgman's show "Beauty Beyond the Orange," which uses clay, acrylic, and watercolor to reinterpret local landscapes. The initiative kicks off during the First Friday Art Crawl on August 1.
This collaboration matters because it brings local visual art into a high-traffic public space, increasing exposure for regional artists and strengthening community ties through culture. By placing art in a tourism hub, the series also introduces visitors to the area's creative scene, potentially boosting cultural tourism and local arts engagement.
