Join us for a special evening celebrating art, rivers, and Florida’s natural heritage, complete with live music, light refreshments, and community conversation.
Reunite the Rivers: Art of the Ocklawaha & Silver Springs brings together artists inspired by the hidden landscapes of the Ocklawaha River and Silver Springs, many revealed only during recent drawdowns of the Rodman Reservoir. Through photography, painting, and mixed media, this exhibit explores what was lost, what remains, and what restoration could mean for future generations.
Enjoy live music by Patchwork, light finger foods, and the opportunity to meet artists and community partners while experiencing the exhibit.
