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.

Thank you to our sponsors!

This select group of artists will create and share their process when working on a painting. Some work en plein air while others follow a different process when selecting a subject and following through to the final painting. From choosing a subject, making a sketch, painting a small color study to the finished work of art, visitors will learn the steps that go into creating the finished painting.

This exhibit will feature 50 photographs by Danny Lyon, a renowned 1960s documentary photographer and filmmaker who famously chronicled the activities of the Chicago Outlaws motorcycle club from 1963 to 1967. It features black-and-white photographs, text by Lyon and excerpts from transcribed interviews with his fellow club members. The images convey a sense of personal authenticity while offering a gritty and bittersweet portrayal of individuals living on the fringes of society. Some photos have a romantic quality, and all are honest, showcasing documentary photography at its best.
