Upcoming Exhibitions

Echoes of the Hollow

 
Step into the forgotten corners of Appalachia, where silence lingers and shadows carry stories. “Echoes in the Hollow” unveils the spirit of abandoned homes, mountain myths, and quiet resilience through haunting visual narratives and immersive installations. This exhibition invites you to listen deeply to the land, to memory, and to the murmurs of the supernatural. In these hills, whispers echo of ghosts, monsters, and moonlit warnings. “Echoes in the Hollow” conjures the eerie and the enchanting, drawing visitors into the strange, spiritual heart of the mountains. It’s not just an exhibition – it’s a visceral journey through Appalachian folklore, where art becomes an apparition, and every piece tells a story just waiting to be heard.

Small Packages 2026

 
Big things come in “Small Packages”! Tamarack Marketplace is bringing back our fan-favorite exhibition, where tiny treasures steal the spotlight just in time for the gift-giving season. We’re calling on artists to think small – literally. We’re looking for bold, imaginative works that measure no more than 12″ x 12″ (or 144 square inches). Whether it’s 2D or 3D, festive or funky, classic or quirky – we want to see how much creativity you can pack into a compact space. These little gems make perfect holiday gifts and unforgettable keepsakes. So go ahead, shrink your masterpiece, scale down your vision, and show us that size doesn’t matter when it comes to making a lasting impression. Let your imagination run wild (within the size limit, of course), and help us fill the David L. Dickirson Fine Arts Gallery with small wonders and big holiday spirit!

Lipstick and Rouge

 
In the dead of winter, red becomes its own kind of warmth. With the exhibition “Lipstick and Rouge”, the color red will take center stage. Associated with passion, beauty, danger, and desire, red has long since occupied a charged place in both art and culture. This exhibition invites viewers to step out of the monogamy of a white winter and into the warmth that red can bring. From deep crimson and velvet burgundy to electric scarlet and painted rouge we encouraged our artists to use red as material, metaphor, and mood. Here, red is more than a pigment or adornment—it is a sign of life amongst the white.

Inheritance

 
Molded by language, culture, and stories—what is inherited is more than just genetics. “Inheritance” is an exhibition about what is passed down, embedded in language, gesture, memory, and the quiet structures of everyday life. A past that continues to move through the present, shaping identity through mementos and traditions—some preserved, some distorted, some resisted. The works in this exhibition will explore what we become through what we inherit through the lens of the people of Appalachia. “Inheritance” invites viewers to consider what is carried forward, what is left behind, and what is quietly rewritten as it is passed on.

19th Annual Best of West Virginia

 
Tamarack Marketplace proudly presents the “19th Annual Best of West Virginia Open Juried Exhibition” – a statewide celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and Mountain State pride. This special exhibition is the only one of its kind in our fine arts gallery, open to all West Virginia residents – not just our regularly juried artists. It’s a showcase of the state’s rich artistic talent, brought together in a spirited competition for cash prizes and statewide recognition. And you get a say, too! Visitors are invited to cast their vote for the People’s Choice Award, to be announced at the close of the show. So come explore, be inspired, and vote for your favorite piece – because in West Virginia, art belongs to everyone.

Go For Baroque!

 
Inspired by the grandeur of the Baroque movement, this exhibition invites artists to indulge in drama, decadence, and detail—to abandon restraint in favor of opulence. Think gilded frames, cascading pearls, luminous fabrics, sparkling embellishments, ornate textures, and beauty turned all the way up. This show encourages the maximalist in all of us to go bigger than ever: more glitter, more gold, more lace, more jewels. We want works that feel lavish, romantic, over-the-top, and richly adorned—pieces that revel in visual abundance and transform excess into art. At its heart, this exhibition asks: what happens when beauty refuses subtlety? “Go for Baroque” is an invitation to create without moderation, to luxuriate in the ornate, the dramatic, and the gloriously embellished.

The Celestial Archives

 
Across centuries of cultures, humanity has looked upward and named the stars, planets, moons, and constellations after gods, monsters, lovers, heroes, and tragedies, thereby transforming the cosmos above into a living archive of stories. This exhibition invites artists to draw inspiration from these celestial namesakes and their mythology suspended above us. “The Celestial Archives” seeks works that engage with astronomy, mythology, folklore, astrology, and the poetic relationship between storytelling and the universe itself. Bring forth interpretations both literal and abstract: radiant suns and cratered moons, divine archetypes and cosmic horrors, forgotten myths and orbiting relics—this exhibition embraces the idea that every celestial body carries not only light and matter, but meaning. Stories passed down through generations and projected endlessly into space. “The Celestial Archives” asks viewers to consider the sky as humanity’s oldest library: a vast and glittering record of the tales we have written amongst the stars.
