MEMBER OPENING: Western American Art South of the Sweet Tea Line VII

Featuring over 60 works of art gathered from across the South, the Booth Western Art Museum is excited to welcome the next offering in its signature triennial exhibition series, Western American Art South of the Sweet Tea Line VII. This upcoming version will feature new acquisitions to the Booth’s permanent collection and art given or loaned by Booth Members spread across the states of Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee.
Occurring only every third year, this interval provides the opportunity for the museum to become aware of new collectors and seek out new and interesting works from long time collectors that have recently been acquired or old favorites that have been in their collection for many years. Sweet Tea VII will feature approximately 40 paintings and 20 sculptures in both traditional and contemporary styles. Themes within the exhibition include landscapes; wildlife, animals and birds; cowboys; and Native Americans. Some of the artists include Jason Rich, Nancy Cawdrey, Mark Maggiori, Bonnie Marris, Fred Fellows, Sandy Graves and John Coleman.
Members are invited to join the Booth Museum on January 10, 2026 for an exclusive Member Opening for Western American Art South of the Sweet Tea Line VII. Members have the option to register for a 4:00 PM gallery walk (Special Exhibition Gallery) first and reception at 5:00 PM (Eaton Atrium) or a 4:00 PM reception and 5:00 PM gallery walk. At 6:00 PM all members are invited to Bergman Theatre for a lecture diving more into the exhibition. Registration is required.
