(Art by Laurie Hitzig) Join us for the opening weekend of our BRANCHES Exhibition.Curated by Louise Freshman Brown
We’re exploring the theme of BRANCHES this spring—the branches found in nature, but also branches of women’s writing, art, family, community, and personal growth.
This show features a stunning selection of 17 women artists who have studied with artist/UNF professor Louise Freshman Brown, including Elif Akçalı, Dimelza Broche, Elizabeth Brown Eagle. Karen Chew, Teresa Cook, Cheryl Cummer, Toni Dewitt, Edmari Herandez-Silen, Laurie Hitzig, Andrea Jakes, Suzanne Magee, Emily Mitchell, Susan Ober, Anna M. Reynolds, Susan Watson, Krista Lee Weller, and Megan Welch, plus a diverse collection of artists in our Community Gallery, totaling 46 visions to inspire you.
We’re branching out into the community, too, collaborating with Yellow House on their Community Tree Project, and introducing you to an outdoor branch sculpture by Lola Hunter in Avondale near the home of artist Marsha Glazière, who will be giving private studio tours.
Our new “Sidewalk Hospitality” format is meant to keep you safe at this event but still allow you to see the work of our featured artists, writers, and a community gallery of women artists. Masks (double preferred) and a ticket required to attend, regardless of your vaccination status.
The Community Gallery (in the She Shed) will be open for free outdoor viewing (with ticket); a self-guided indoor tour will highlight our featured artists. Indoor tours limited to 3 people at a time only.
