Black Women Artists from the Gadsden Arts Permanent Collection
February 21 - June 30, 2025
Bates Community Room
This exhibition presents art by American women artists who shared their lives, cultures, family traditions, wisdom, and beliefs through art. Although these artists were self-taught and they often worked with found materials, their expressive works and distinctive styles of art have earned them acclaim in major U.S. Museums. Featured artists include Alynne Harris, Bessie Harvey, "Missionary" Mary Proctor, Mary T. Smith, and Ruby Williams.

Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit on U.S. Women in WWII. This exhibit will open Tuesday, March 4, 2025 and will be on display at the museum until Saturday, March 29. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm and there is no charge for admission.

American women served in the war effort as members of the WACs, WAVEs, SPARs and in the US Marine Corps as well as civilians in the war industries throughout the country. This exhibit will explain the role of women, highlighting individuals like US Navy Flight Nurses, who were the first women to arrive at battles like Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The exhibit will feature artifacts including uniforms, handbooks and even a practice aptitude test given to women applicants hoping to enlist. Camp Gordon Johnston Museum will also remember and honor many of the local women of Franklin County who served in WWII.

Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park, at 1873 Hwy 98 West. For more information, visit CampGordonJohnston.com or contact them at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

Explore works from Tallahassee Museum collection in partnership with Audubon Florida, opening January 16 – May 31 in Phipps Exhibit Gallery on our campus.

2025 celebrates 125 years of Audubon in Florida. Formed to bring wading birds back from the brink of extinction, Audubon has been working for more than a century to protect birds because we know that the things birds rely on—healthy habitats, clean air, abundant fresh water, resilient coastlines—are the same things that people and other wildlife need to thrive. Birds are symbols and sentinels to measure our success, and they inspire us to work collaboratively and expansively throughout the hemisphere. In simplest terms, “what’s good for birds is good for the Earth.”
