SUMMARY:L I V (I N) G Estuary Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join Ashley Rivers | The Nature of Fire for the opening of her first Solo Exhibition:\n“L I V (I N) G Estuary” … a space between.\nAn art exhibition that – influenced directly by the oyster shell and its deep\, layered\, and detailed ridges – explores my personal experience with artistic growth\, environmental factors\, and materials/media experimentation over the years I have been practicing as a professional artist. \nBe sure to join us for the Opening Reception on June 6th from 3:30 PM–5:00 PM\, an afternoon of art\, small bites\, and good vibes. The exhibit will be on display until June 27th. \nAbout the Exhibition\nAn estuary is a point of convergence- it is the space between\, where freshwater rivers and salty ocean waters merge. This point\, where the union of different elements and organisms come together to meet at a single point- where adaption and growth occurs\, and the life of our special little oysters grows- indicates and symbolizes the very setting this exhibition is meant to be portrayed in. \nThrough repetition and active material experimentation\, these artworks investigate the intrinsic relationship between the natural systems and developments of an oyster and its shell\, and the symbolism of them compared to our human identity- specifically to my lived artistic experiences. The work explores my personal experience with artistic growth\, environmental factors\, and materials/media experimentation over the years I have been practicing as a professional artist. \nWorking with multiple mediums- including clays\, raw dyes and pigments\, natural fibers\, metals\, wood\, and hand-made papers and twines- the sculptures aim to share\, through textural and vulnerable forms\, that humans and nature share systematic parallels. \nThis collection is directly influenced by the oyster shell and its deep\, layered\, and detailed ridges. Created through a combination of growth\, environmental factors\, and the deposition of materials\, the ridges of the oyster shell act as a metaphor following my artistic identity and experiences lived.  \nThe art is intended to achieve an inspiring and transformational impact on those who experience it by sharing the importance of not only restorative efforts of personal growth\, but the importance of restorative efforts on/for the environment. \nThis exhibition is the space between.

SUMMARY:Watershed Stories
DESCRIPTION:Step into the sound of water. \nJoin us for a one-of-a-kind Watershed Stories Workshop\, a free\, three-hour immersive experience\, open to people of all ages\, where Tampa Bay becomes more than a place; it becomes something you can hear\, feel\, and express.\nJust drop in for a few minutes between 10 AM and 1 PM and experience the fun! \nThrough a collaboration with the USF Crescendo Project\, you’ll experience the changing waters of Tampa Bay translated into music—data transformed into sound\, science into sensation. Let the rhythms\, tones\, and currents guide you into a deeper connection with the waters that shape our region. \nFrom there\, we turn inward. \nYou’ll be invited to reflect on your own experiences with water—memories\, emotions\, moments of connection—and capture them in your own words. If you choose\, your story can become part of a growing Water Experience Archive at the University of South Florida Library\, preserving community voices alongside the evolving story of our watershed. \nWe’ll guide you in shaping those experiences into stories you can share—simple\, powerful techniques to bring your moments to life for others. \nAnd for those who feel the spark…\nYou’ll have the chance to enter a drawing for an extraordinary opportunity: three months of professional storytelling coaching\, culminating in a live community concert performance in late October\, where you can share your story with friends\, neighbors\, and fellow storytellers. \nThis is not just a workshop.\nIt’s an invitation to listen differently\, to remember more deeply\, and to become part of a living story—one that flows through all of us. \nCome wade in. \nUpcoming Watershed Stories Workshops (Free\, all ages)\nCamp Bayou Outdoor Learning Center – Saturday\, May 2\, 2026\, 10 am–1 pm\nBrooker Creek Preserve – Saturday\, May 30\, 2026\, 10 am–1 pm\nWeedon Island Preserve – Saturday\, June 13\, 2026\, 10 am–1 pm \nPre-registration is suggested (to help us plan materials)\, but walk-ins are warmly welcome.

SUMMARY:JOYLAND: Benaiah Cusack Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:On view: July 3 – August 8 \nMeet the artist/reception: July 11\, 5pm to 8pm \nJoyland is a state of mind guided by wonder and curiosity through the creative process of art making. Inspired by imaginary coastal spaces\, ocean light\, rhythmic movement\, tropical color\, the energy of street art\, and a hint of the cosmic\, this body of work explores environments that feel both vibrant and introspective. Layered surfaces\, fluid forms\, and bold color interactions create an atmosphere that moves between dreamscape and memory—places that do not exist\, yet feel familiar. The work balances playfulness with reflection\, inviting moments of connection\, engagement\, and emotional escape. \nThrough Joyland\, viewers are invited into a vivid world where imagination\, energy and emotion converge—a space that rekindles wonder and joy. \nBenaiah Cusack is an abstract landscape and mixed-media painter working in acrylic\, ink\, graphite\, and collage. His practice explores color\, gesture\, and layered composition\, shifting between structure and spontaneity to build surfaces shaped through an intuitive process. Based in St. Petersburg\, Florida\, his work draws from coastal environments\, street art and mural culture\, atmospheric light\, and rhythmic movement\, translating fragments of observation into painted works. Through processes of\nbuilding\, obscuring\, and reworking\, he develops imagery defined by form\, flow\, and visual rhythm. \nRather than depicting specific locations\, Cusack’s paintings move between imagined terrain\, instinct\, and sensory experience\, inviting viewers into immersive spaces shaped by color\, radiance\, and abstraction. \nHOME | bcusackart.com

SUMMARY:Neverne Covington: Into the Mystic Opening Night
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: July 11th\, 5pm to 8pm \nContinuing a tradition at the Morean\, we are proud to present last year’s Margaret Murphy Steward Best of Show winner\, Neverne Covington. In addition to a cash prize\, the winning artist receives a solo show in our gallery to coincide with the following year’s members show. Neverne is the 14th artist to receive this opportunity. \nAbout Neverne: \nNeverne Covington’s drawings\, prints\, paintings and sculpture explore childhood\, language\, landscape\, memory\, and the gothic south. Her work has been exhibited at the Tampa Museum of Art\, the Brevard Museum of Art\, the State Capital\, the Florida Museum for Women Artists in Deland\, Florida and various venues throughout Florida\, Georgia and Alabama. \n​​She recently returned from an artist residency at the VCCA Moulin a Nef in Auvillar\, France. Covington was born in Laurelton\, New York\, grew up in Florida\, and attended City & Guilds College in London\, England. She graduated from Eckerd College and has maintained her studio in downtown Saint Petersburg for three decades. \nArtist Statement: \nI use oil paint\, oil sticks and wax on canvas to create my work. I start with small intimate studies and expand to larger works\, often executing several paintings at the same time. I look for the dialogue as my paintings speak to one another. Using progressive layers and glazes\, some transparent\, some thick and opaque\, each brushstroke or mark becomes the topography of the surface. Each layer informs the next. \nDirect observation and immersion in the natural world\, informs my work and determines its themes: permanence\, impermanence\, and transience. My paintings discover the tangible and intangible forces that form matter from which our being and our very nature emerge. \nRhythm\, pattern\, and repetition dictate my process and the direction each work will take. The viscosity and consistency of the mediums enhance the work as I smear\, drag\, rub to create volume and form. The oil sticks\, paint\, and wax\, combined with the shimmering transparent glazes\, produce depth. The history of painting\, and my study of it\, informs each mark I make. \nPainting makes me pay attention. It entices me into the mystery of nature and the landscape of memory. It is a way of bringing order to the world I know and to the preconscious world of which I know so little. I am fascinated with what came before us\, with humankind’s relationship to our living\, breathing world. In my work I strive to reveal nature’s known\, unknown and unknowable entities.

SUMMARY:Southern Nights:  Traditional groundhog kiln workshop with Jon Brinley
DESCRIPTION:Friday and Saturday \nAugust 21 – 22 \nTime \n8am Friday – Est. 10am Saturday \nPrice \n$250 – Materials Fee $50 paid at the start of the workshop ~ Cash Only \n Traditional groundhog kilns have been the mainstay kiln design of eastern Appalachia for over 150 years. Their simplistic design lends to a relatively fast firing cycle of 8-12 hours\, compared to other kiln designs\, while heavily relying on alkaline glazes\, slips and salt for the ware.  \nThough many of today’s contemporary wood fire potters may have moved away from these kilns there are some that only prefer this traditional method of firing.   \nWe aim to show why these traditions are still viable.  With less stresses on the exacts of stoking sequences and more on wood selection and clay choices. We will also be sharing few glazes that have served potters of old\, and us very well.  \nStudents will arrive at 8am on Friday with 6-12 pieces of their own medium sized pottery\, ready to be fired. Students and instructors will work together to load the kiln and firing will begin around 6pm. The kiln must be tended to at all times\, and students will pick shifts to keep things running through the night. Expect a late evening\, midnight\, or early Saturday shift.    \nRegister Here!\nSupplies: \n Closed Toed shoes \nNatural fiber clothing  \n6-12 pieced of your own\, medium sized\, work to be fired
