GFAA-WAG Collaboration: Synergy

Biennial Collaborative Exhibition

April – May 2025

For several years, the Writers Alliance of Gainesville (WAG) and the Gainesville Fine Arts Association (GFAA) have collaborated to produce an exhibition featuring both visual art and literary art.

This year, selected GFAA artists will create a work of art and a WAG member will write a piece inspired by the artist’s work. The theme will be “Hidden Histories.” Both pieces will be featured together in an exhibition at the GFAA gallery from April 23 through May 24, 2025.

A reception for artists, authors, and the public is scheduled for Friday, April 25 during Artwalk, 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.

WAG members will receive an invitation to participate in this collaboration by email. The email will include rules and guidelines to follow.
