The Kelly Fitzpatrick Memorial Gallery invites residents near and far to visit the gallery for an opportunity to discover the art and history of Alabama’s native tribes.

The name of The Kelly's new exhibition is “Pokv-Hvcce,” which is a Creek Indian word meaning “a gathering at the river.” According to legend, The Dixie Art Colony was called “Poka Hutch.” The Creek Indian linguist in Atmore researched the name and discovered that it may be the English spelling of Pokv-Hvcce. The art colonists may have given the name due to their primitive living conditions while painting at the Dixie Art Colony on Lake Jordan.
