Recognizing the achievements of regionally and nationally renowned artists, while exciting and educating up-and-coming art patrons about the diverse range of objects created in the South, the Amy P. Coy Forum offers stimulating conversation with the 1858 Prize winner for Contemporary Southern Art. Awarded each year by the Gibbes young associates group, Society 1858, the prize and forum recognize an artist whose work demonstrates the highest level of artistic achievement in any media, while contributing to a new understanding of Southern art.

Featuring internationally renowned experts in the world of design, we are pleased to announce that New York floral designer and author of Flower Flash and Styling Nature: A Masterful Approach to Floral Arrangements, Lewis Miller, will be our Art of Design guest speaker. Known nationally for his pop-up urban, flower installations, Miller has been called the Banksy of floral design. Clients include Tiffany & Co., Ferragamo, Harry Winston, and The New York Public Library. Miller’s floral inspirations provided hope and gladness especially during the height of the pandemic. He continues to strive in transforming the ordinary into something magical.
