For Goodall Gallery’s current exhibiting artist, Anna Byars, transcendence is more than a theme in her work; it has become a pursuit within her art-making process, even if that pursuit is infinitely fleeting.
“TRANSFORM” is on display for 20 more days! Come sit with the work. We want to know if your consciousness is transported beyond the here and now.

The Post & Courier’s just released a new story highlighting art shows to see in Columbia this month and our current exhibition “𝓢𝓸𝓾𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓷 𝓗𝓸𝓼𝓹𝓲𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂” by made the cut! Link in bio**
Zoe Nicholson notes “Pauza takes the shattered remnants of her early beliefs and creates larger sculptural pieces aimed at Southern domesticity - with a darkly wry humor Southerners will recognize.”
This article and this exhibit are a must if you want to make February worthwhile!! 🙌🏾 Come to the gallery Thursday, February 26, 2026 from 5-7PM to meet the artist and enjoy refreshments with a look at handmade contemporary art.

“Southern Hospitality” is up through 02.26.26🧵🎟️
•
Columbia-based, independent arts writer, critic, and supporter states that the exhibit is a “tragicomedy composed of a large group of installations exploring the world of southern girls and women. There are references to beauty, housework, love and marriage, and religion. Pauza, a native of Tennessee who lives in Maryland, has done a fantastic job transforming symbols of Southern womanhood into something questioning them all.”
The gallery is open today from 10AM-5PM for a solo visit, but for those of you that was to meet the maker, join us 02.26.26 from 5-7PM for the closing reception!
