THOMASVILLE CENTER FOR THE ARTS
THOM Collective Member Exhibition On view through August 13 Thomasville Center for the Arts 600 East Washington Street
THOM Collective is an artist membership at Thomasville Center for the Arts providing a platform for both local and regional artists to grow their potential, while providing collectors—novice or experienced—access to original, affordable art. A community of creative professionals, the collective is made up of visual, culinary, and performing artists. THOM Collective provides a network of creatives with a variety of resources to help them in the development of their artistic careers. Featuring an annual exhibition, online directory, teaching and residency opportunities, artistic challenges, individual portfolio critiques, headshot days, and a number of other professional development events, THOM Collective emphasizes the importance of member collaboration, encouraged to help strengthen the quality of the group. “This is my first time hosting the THOM Collective exhibition, and it’s been an absolute pleasure to connect with the wonderful public art community in Thomasville,” says Sam McCoy, artist programs manager. “The collective the center has developed brings together many visual artists from different mediums and walks of life. This meaningful collaboration between the community and artists makes me proud to work with such creative community leaders.” This year’s member exhibition will feature over 40 artists and dozens of pieces of art. The exhibition will be held in the Main Gallery of Thomasville Center for the Arts, at 600 E. Washington Street. It is free and open to the public. If you are an artist, it’s never too late to join! Program organizers are always happy to answer questions as well as connect artists and the Thomasville community.
