KAI LIN ART is pleased to announce our first exhibition of 2026 and the seventh iteration of our annual juried works on paper exhibition: THE NEW SOUTH 7 on view through March 13, 2026.

THE NEW SOUTH 7 brings together 63 selected works by 48 artists living and working across the Southeastern United States. Chosen from over 800 submissions, the exhibition reflects the continued vitality, diversity, and experimentation emerging from the region’s contemporary art community. This year’s exhibition was juried by Beth Wilson, Fine Art Specialist for The Coca-Cola Company, whose selections highlight the breadth of conceptual, material, and formal approaches possible within the medium of paper.

Celebrating paper as both a traditional and expansive medium, THE NEW SOUTH 7 encompasses a wide range of themes, styles, and techniques—from intimate drawings and printmaking to mixed-media and sculptural explorations—underscoring paper’s enduring relevance in contemporary art practice.

Now in its seventh year, THE NEW SOUTH continues Kai Lin Art’s commitment to fostering dialogue, discovery, and visibility for artists across the Southeast while offering a snapshot of the region’s evolving creative landscape.

Exhibiting through March 13, 2026
