The Emerald Coast National (ECN) is a popular juried exhibition held annually at Mattie Kelly Arts Center Galleries, Northwest Florida State College.

The show brings creative, inspired, and skilled artwork from working artists to NWFSC, offering rich learning and engagement for artists, students, and educators.
