Town of Collierville Art Galleries

We are surrounded by the arts—art of our environment. We are so accustomed to it that we are hardly aware until we see the first spring flower, the first hummingbird, a beautiful sunrise or sunset, winter’s first snowfall, or the magic of a rainbow. Nature is constantly changing her palate offering the complete spectrum of color, design and structure. It’s all around us.

Artists create visual art primarily for aesthetic purposes, or to satisfy themselves, or to make a statement; we judge that work for its beauty and meaningfulness, and enjoy this work specifically as painting, sculpture, drawing, watercolor, graphics, and architecture.

The Collierville Arts Council is a part of that experience and works to encourage, exhibit and promote this fine arts’ creativity. In addition, Collierville Community Art Galleries were created for the public to showcase artwork for the encouragement and development of artistic expression, and to nurture greater appreciation for art in our community. Each year, the Morton Museum and the Collierville Arts Council collaborate to develop this yearlong rotation of exhibitions in our three galleries.

Take advantage of these exhibitions by visiting our free public galleries. They are located at the Collierville Town Hall, 500 Poplar View Parkway with hours Monday- Friday, 8:00am­-5:00pm; the Harrell Performing Arts Theatre, 440 W. Powell Road with hours Monday­-Friday, 9:00am­-5:00pm and during performances; and at the Morton Museum, 196 N. Main Street with hours Tuesday­-Saturday, 10:00am­-4:00pm.

*Please note that during these trying times we wont be having any exhibits at The Harrell Theatre at this time. Please check with the Morton Museum on other exhibits. 

All galleries are wheelchair accessible.

Given that an end to the COVID-19 situation seems unpredictable at best, the Morton Museum has developed a CAG 2021 program that will be entirely online. In lieu of having gallery shows in the Morton Museum, Town Hall, and the Harrell, the museum will feature a video by a different artist every month during 2021 wherein the artist will tell viewers about themselves, their body of work, and one featured work in particular. (Should circumstances allow, we can then also have physical art displays hung as we normally would in junction with the digital gallery.)

Interested artists should contact Maureen Smith at museum@colliervilletn.gov .

Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis.
