Generations A Solo Exhibition by Julie Torres
May 15 – July 11, 2026
From Tallahassee to the Metropolitan Museum of Art—Julie Miller Torres
proves that art can be for everyone, even if you’ve never stepped into a
gallery before. Julie Miller Torres creates work that blends everyday
materials with powerful ideas, turning familiar techniques like crochet and
weaving into bold, eye-catching pieces. Her art explores themes of
freedom and empowerment in ways that are easy to connect with,
transforming legal texts and big civic ideas into striking visual stories
through her signature “woven screenprints” and “paper quilts.” One of her
most recognized works, Super Diva, is a portrait of Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg and is part of the permanent collection at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York.
A Tallahassee native and Maclay School graduate, Torres now lives and
works in Atlanta. Her path bridges both art and law—she holds degrees
from the University of Florida, the University of Miami, and the Savannah
College of Art and Design (SCAD). Today, her work appears in major
collections including Delta Airlines, the Ritz-Carlton, SCAD, and the Jordan
Schnitzer Family Foundation.
Support for this program is provided by the National Endowment for the
Arts, celebrating NEA America250: Arts Projects Honoring the National
Garden of American Heroes.
Admission: Free for all Gadsden Arts members and children (17 and
under), $3 students, and $5 adults.
