The Visual Arts Society
Established in 1992, the Visual Arts Society, Jacksonville State University,
is an organization which supports the Department of Art and creates interest
and involvement in the visual arts in the community. Yearly events sponsored
by the Society and the Department include special receptions for members
before exhibitions in Hammond Hall Gallery, a Creole Dinner, and a Gala Buffet
and Art Auction. The society also organizes trips to museums and art galleries
in Birmingham and Atlanta, and presents art workshops for members.
The Visual Arts Society has raised over $100,000 since its inception and has been
able to sponsor artist visits and workshops, to provide student scholarships, and
to substantially help the Department purchase equipment.
Membership of the Society is open to all. Please contact the Department Secretary,
