Many staff members are practicing, talented artists reflecting a diversity of approaches, techniques and mediums, including drawing, mixed media, painting, photography, pottery, printmaking, crocheting, sculpture and more. Don’t miss the chance to see their work this weekend.

This special presentation is held in the Museum’s Raymond James Community Room and is free for all guests.

Now through September 2nd

Opening: The Picture of Dorian Gray
TheatreFor, Clearwater

TheatreFor brings us a much lauded classic this go-around – a timely, yet timeless tale of the consequences faced by a spoiled, wealthy, handsome young man.  Based on the philosophical fiction and gothic horror novel by Oscar Wilde, this play revolves around a portrait of a young man of questionable character. Dorian Gray ages and visually records his varied immoral experiences while he remains young and beautiful. Controversial at the time, the story “ages” very well.  This is a great chance to enjoy a classic at a good ticket price.

Opens Thursday, August 28th and runs through Sunday, September 14th

Each work of art is a timestamp—marking moments of resilience, resistance, celebration, and healing. This innovative curation emerges from Mi Gente Mi Pueblo’s transformative “Reclamando” workshop series, where participants from multiple generations came together to remember, reclaim, and reimagine their histories.
