Join us for our first Instagram Live Gallery Talk. Four South Florida artists working in diverse media exhibit their work together for
the first time. Heather Couch (West Palm Beach), Marina Font (Miami), Renee Rey (Naples)
and Terre Rybovich (Homestead) come together to address themes of impermanence, spirituality
and the physical body. Direct body impressions and mark making are a common form of
expression as each artist creates unique narratives marking time and place. Sculpture,
ceramics, photography, drawing and painting are all represented in this collaborative
exhibition. This event can be accessed on the FGCU Art Galleries' Instagram page. |

A bewildering series of dreams torments a young woman, leaving her isolated in an
unfamiliar world. She searches for an interpretation of her shadowy visions with the
help of a doctor who is from a disjointed time.
River Sonnets is a digital play performed in the time of a great pandemic, a time when language
is such an important bridge between people but a time when that linguistic architecture
is crumbling and failing. At a time like this, we have to invent new ways of thinking
about theater, new ways to question our assumptions about the human condition. River Sonnets is an experiment in language. It is ancient poetry set to contemporary circumstance,
it is visual poetry nestled in popular streaming media. River Sonnets features the poems of Edmund Spenser, a 16th century English poet best known for The Faerie Queene, and by Edna St. Vincent Millay, an American poet who, in 1923, became the third woman
to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. River Sonnets is a deep exploration into the desire for love and a timid look into the vagaries
of our final transition. It is a universal warning wrapped in a personal metaphor. This event can be accessed on YouTube.

Is it true that a painting conservator is also a detective? According to conservator and art historian Barry Bauman, every painting has its secrets. During his 46 years of experience treating and analyzing
damaged paintings, he has uncovered many of them—lost signatures, hidden dates, and
entire paintings hidden beneath other works. Two of his discoveries were so phenomenal
they landed on the front pages of The New York Times. Barry Bauman is an Elected Fellow of the American Institute for Conservation and
former Associate Conservator of Paintings for the Art Institute of Chicago.
Registration for this event can be found here or on the Art Galleries’ website.
