The Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts is a regional arts venue in downtown Valdosta, Georgia, serving residents across Valdosta, Lowndes County, surrounding Georgia counties, and parts of North Florida. It presents art through six light-filled galleries, hosting roughly thirty exhibitions each year that feature regional and national artists. The center houses two spaces with permanent collections, including a 600-piece East African collection and more than 30 pieces of antique European porcelain, alongside a gift shop offering works by local makers. Its facilities include a modern kitchen and event space available for private rentals such as weddings and business gatherings. In 2026 the center expanded its programmatic offerings by launching the Levitt AMP Valdosta Music Series for a fourth season, beginning with a mid-March performance during the Azalea Festival. In late 2025, leadership changes included the appointment of Kimberly Cliett as Station Director for the Meta Shaw Coleman Children's Imagination Station. The organization focuses on providing arts access and educational experiences, with ongoing projects that aim to engage families and the wider South Georgia community.
