Butterfield Garage Invitational – October 2020

October is the inaugural BUTTERFIELD GARAGE INVITATIONAL. This year, many of the member artists have invited artists they admire, resulting in a diverse mix of seasoned artists in the community, family members who are artists, and newcomers who are beginning to make their mark. Butterfield Garage is excited for the opportunity to showcase these talents. Visitors to the gallery will have an opportunity to discover and explore the work of these artists. During this month long event, each invited artist will be available in the gallery to talk about their work with discussions of why they were chosen.

Butterfield Garage welcomes all to visit the gallery and explore this extraordinary group of artists. They invite you to come talk first hand with both the artist and the Butterfield member who chose them.

First Friday Art Walk featuring Margaret Juul

Sea Spirits Gallery & Gifts is excited to feature the alluring works of artist Margaret Juul. Join us this Friday for First Friday Art Walk, February 7th, 5-9pm. Enjoy the artist’s original paintings and lithographs in addition to a stunning gallery of sea-inspired treasures!

Juul’s paintings of water in motion will bring energy and life to any home or business. Find the perfect piece for your own space while they are available!

First Friday Art Walk featuring works by Salvador Dali

Lost Art Gallery is excited to feature a collection of lithographs by Salvador Dali at the December 6th First Friday Art Walk, from 5-9pm. The gallery will be exhibiting Spanish and French lithograph editions, signed by the artist. Join us for refreshments during the event to view a prominent collection of Dali’s surrealist lithographs.

Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was born in Figueras, Spain. As a surrealist painter and printmaker, Dali is best known for his explorations of subconscious imagery. From his melting clock to the burning giraffe, Dali rallied against the tradition of pre-meditated painting, preferring to draw upon his subconscious mind to bring imagery to life. Having left art school before taking his final exam, Dali estranged himself from his father and took up a fishing shack on Port Lligat. This was a location that would figure prominently both in his real life and in his work. He felt that passing an exam was insulting as a means of determining his position as an artist. As a student he developed a vast number of artistic styles and showed great technical skills as a painter.

First Friday Art Walk with live painter Lorraine Millspaugh

We are excited to feature the stunning paintings of Florida wildlife by Lorraine Millspaugh. Her work will be featured for the December 6th First Friday Art Walk here at Sea Spirits Gallery & Gifts, 210 St. George Street, south if the plaza.

Lorraine’s acrylic paintings of elegant Floridian birds are stunning creations painted with sentiment. She uses mostly acrylic with glazes and molding pastes. She specializes in White Herons, Birds and Beaches, and Sea Turtles swaying to the gentle steering currents of the sea. Her use of vibrant contrasts catch the light in her life-like renderings.

We invite you to come meet the artist as she live paints during the event!
