SUMMARY:Florida Now: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Holly Hanessian\n\nOn View: May 2 – June 13\nOpening Reception: Saturday, May 9, 6-8pm\n\n.\n\nFlorida NOW is an exhibition of contemporary fine craft by artists from across Florida, highlighting work in traditional materials approached with fresh vision and urgency. Curated by Holly Hanessian, recently retired Head of Ceramics at Florida State University and a nationally respected artist and educator, the exhibition reflects the breadth and vitality of craft practice taking place throughout the state today.\nPresented as part of Florida CraftArt’s 75th Anniversary, Florida NOW is one of two major exhibitions the organization is producing to mark this milestone year. Together, these exhibitions represent Florida’s contribution to Handwork 2026, a national initiative that uses craft as a lens to explore history, tradition, and contemporary practice in celebration of the United States’ Semiquincentennial.\nBy bringing together artists from diverse regions of the state, Florida NOW offers a focused snapshot of what craft in Florida looks like today—bold, skillful, and deeply connected to place, process, and lived experience.\nParticipating artists include: Wendy Bruce, Largo, fiber; Cheryl Dunnigan, Naples, jewelry; Marty Fielding, Tallahassee, clay; Dominique Labauvie, Tampa, metal; Jillian Mayer, Miami, glass; Milton Mizell, Miami, wood; Charles Parkhill, Tampa, wood; Evelyn Politzer, Miami, fiber; Lauren Shapiro, Miami, clay; Rob Stern, Dania Beach, glass.\n
