The August 1 deadline is fast approaching to submit your artwork for the exhibit!

The 2026 Community Art Exhibit "Colors of Gainesville," is a multi-generational, inclusive celebration of creativity hosted by First UMC-Gainesville. Transforming the Fellowship Hall and Chapel into a vibrant gallery, this event will showcase the diverse talent within our local community. From September 27 through October 4, we will invite guests to explore a curated collection that spans all mediums—from oil paintings and photography to fiber arts and sculpture - digital and analog - reflecting a wide array of styles and perspectives.

The purpose of this exhibit is to foster connection and inspiration by providing a shared platform for artists of all backgrounds. By removing the traditional barriers between amateur and professional creators, our hope is to:

Celebrate Artistic Diversity, Empower Emerging Talent, and Cultivate Community.
