Temporary Contemporary

 
Temporary Contemporary was initiated in 1996 and consists of four solo exhibitions each year. Each show features innovative, influential and thought-provoking works by artists who are either from or currently living in the southeastern United States. Previous artists have included William Eggleston, Roe Ethridge, Kojo Griffin, Kerry James Marshall, and Robert Ryman.

In 2005, Cheekwood joined a prestigious community on the national contemporary art front by receiving a major grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for its pioneering work.
