Beyond Go Figure VII

June 2nd - August 15th

Beyond Go Figure was originally created to showcase and honor the many Board Members and Friends of the Center who are artists. This exhibition features works created by them as well as pieces produced by our local talent. Last year was truly a celebration of the wealth of artistic talent in and around Columbus, GA, and the Center is thrilled that we are hosting Beyond Go Figure VII this year with hopes to show even more of the local artists in the area.

We Are the Drum and the Scribe: Black Art in America Collection

January 20th - June 20th

We Are the Drum and the Scribe is both an exhibition and an affirmation of Black Art In America‘s (BAIA) ongoing mission to document, preserve, and promote the contributions of African American visual culture.

As the scribe, BAIA records, preserves, and safeguards the visual histories of African American artists—ensuring that their legacies, past and present, are written into the record of American art.

As the drum, BAIA amplifies those voices—allowing both emerging and established artists to resonate across the nation through exhibitions, collections, media, and meaningful institutional partnerships.

Presented at the Bo Bartlett Center in Columbus, Georgia, this exhibition reflects BAIA‘s core mission while serving as a living reminder that Black stories are to be kept and experienced.
