Gallery Exhibitions
Throughout the year, the Gallery hosts themed exhibitions for our Member Artists. These events are designed to highlight the talent and artistic abilities of our local artists and also to challenge them to create new work from a prompt. Past exhibitions include Art of the Matter, Celebrating Fathers Through Art, Florida’s Wildlife Wonders, the Precious Pets portrait contest, & our recent Spring Into Summer event. Some of these events are open only to Gallery Display Artists, while others are open to all ALNF members. Our next Member Artist exhibition will be on the theme of “Everyday Art”, hosted in June of 2025. Stay tuned for more information!
