Art in Public Places

Art in Public Places fosters a thriving arts ecosystem by enriching shared spaces in the Wiregrass with public art and community-driven art experiences.

The Not a Gala goes pop! This year, we&#39;re celebrating the art, attitude, and wonderfully weird pop art world of Andy Warhol because ordinary parties are boring, and ordinary was never really his thing. APP&#39;s annual fundraiser (Not a Gala) with no live auction, boring speeches, or fussy attire. Think chill music, a silent auction worth fighting over, an open(ish) bar, Warhol in the flesh (or maybe it&#39;s Kendell Shows) &amp; more. Step inside our pop-art universe for a night of art, music, cocktails, and the triumphant return of the grilled cheese bar! Attire: Wear Whatever Makes You Feel Like a Work of ArtTickets: $80/each or $150/pairWhen: October 15, 2026, at 6p-9pWhere: The Grand on Foster (Downtown Dothan)What: chill music, hors d&#39;oeuvres, silent auction, grilled cheese bar, and libations.

Not a Gala 2026 (fundraiser)

Step right up and let Warhol capture you! For a $25 donation, this experience can be yours. XOXO,Andy
