Current Exhibitions

Community Art Gallery - "Piecework" by Jennifer Stanford 

July 21st - September 19th, 2026

Jennifer Stanford is a Collierville native with deep roots in the area. She holds a BFA in Graphic Design and briefly taught art at Collierville Middle School "at the turn of the century." She counts as influences a wide range of artists and craftspeople from Van Gogh and Hockney to her mother and grandmothers. She creates her own pieces for collage using a variety of printmaking techniques, while simultaneously amassing a (too) large collection of curated papers and books which frequently find their way into her work.

Stanford has begun to experiment with digital collage, using digital versions of her own works. Drawn primarily to architectural subjects, she often can't resist the whimsy of florals and abstracts. All works are mixed media, employing needlework, acrylics, photography, printmaking, collage, and whatever else seems cool at the moment.

 

Beyond the Battlefield: Collierville's VFW Post 5066 & Auxiliary

September 15 - November 21, 2026

Stepping far beyond the front lines, this temporary exhibition honors a nearly century-long legacy of local veterans who transitioned from serving their country to anchoring their community. Since establishing their South Center Street headquarters in 1945, the post and its Auxiliary have transformed into a vital neighborhood lifeline, offering everything from expert VA claim assistance to the simple, powerful camaraderie of "Coffee with a Veteran" gatherings. Their impact stretches well into the present day through hands-on outreach, whether they are providing for families in need or conducting solemn flag retirement ceremonies for the town. By weaving together archival milestones with modern stories of brotherhood and sisterhood, the display pays tribute to a dedicated group that ensures no local veteran ever has to walk alone.
