GALLERY SHOW & ART SALE

My State, My Town, My Place

Everybody comes from somewhere. Some of us were born right here in the great state of Florida. Others found their way here from far-off places — maybe Iowa, Michigan, Maine… or (yes) even New York. 😉

For this show, we invite you to create work that reflects the place that shaped you — your hometown, your home state, or even a place you dream of calling home.

Show us your old homestead or village, your favorite local landmark, your hometown team, your state bird — or any symbol that represents where you’re from. (Just one rule: unless you’re truly from Florida, please leave the Florida birds at home!)

We want to see what you miss, what you remember, what you love — or maybe even what you don’t miss at all.

Creative Kids Camp

Our 6-week Creative Kids Camp was a huge success! Dozens of young artists explored clay, painting, animation, and more—bringing their imaginations to life through hands-on projects and lots of laughter.

 

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing teachers Jen Perez and Deb Vest, our dedicated volunteers, and the Church of the Isles for generously hosting us. It was a joyful, art-filled summer where creativity and community came together!
