The Walker County Arts Alliance (WCAA) will host the opening reception for its annual Artists of WCAA exhibition, a showcase celebrating the talent and creativity of local artist members, on Thursday, February 12, 2026, beginning at 6 p.m. at the WCAA gallery, located on the Jasper campus of Bevill State Community College (1500 Indiana Avenue, Jasper, AL 35501).
The exhibit will be on display from February 12 through April 2 at the WCAA gallery, and the public is invited to attend the reception and meet many of the participating artists.
WCAA Executive Director Kat Murray says the show reflects the wide range of artistic expression found across the county.
“We have so many talented artists in the show from watercolor, leather, and even printmaking,” Murray says. “I’m excited for others to see the creativity of our Walker County community. This show is an example of how we can give local artists a platform to show their work. It’s not always easy as an artist to know how to put yourself out there.”
WCAA Member Artist Nick Rizzo will have work on display in the exhibition.
“It’s a great opportunity for people of all ages in Walker County. Thanks to this exhibition, and the Walker County Arts Alliance, people from all walks of life get to meet and connect with other artists,” says Rizzo.
The Artists of WCAA exhibition is one of many ways the Walker County Arts Alliance connects creators with the community. The nonprofit organization serves as a resource for artists while offering residents opportunities to experience and participate in the arts close to home. Those unable to attend the reception are encouraged to visit the gallery during regular business hours throughout the run of the show.
