SUMMARY:Florida NOW Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:On View: May 2 – June 13\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, May 9\, 6-8pm\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.

SUMMARY:Heighten Your Senses: A Cacao Ceremony\, Sound Bath & Art Immersive
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nA guided cacao ceremony and sound bath within a contemporary art exhibition—designed to deepen presence\, perception\, and sensory connection. \nOn the evening of the first quarter moon\, Browne Art invites you into a guided\, multi-sensory experience designed to heighten perception and deepen your connection to both self and artwork. \nPart 1: Cacao \nGuests will be welcomed into the gallery and invited to settle into a comfortable\, grounded position within the exhibition space. The experience will open with a ceremonial cacao offering led by Day Monet\, rooted in ancient Mesoamerican traditions where cacao has long been used to open the heart\, deepen awareness\, and support connection. \nCeremonial-grade cacao—rich in magnesium\, antioxidants\, and theobromine—provides a gentle\, sustained energy that encourages clarity\, presence\, and receptivity. Through intentional guidance\, breath\, and shared atmosphere\, the ceremony creates a space for inward connection while attuning to the collective field of the room. \nPart 2: Sound Bath \nAs the experience deepens\, lighting will soften and guests will be invited to recline. A live sound bath led by Kelly Nariyah will follow\, incorporating Neptune gong\, koshi chimes\, and singing bowls. Sound waves will move through the space\, shifting the experience from observation into embodiment—where the artwork is not only seen\, but felt. \nHeld within the context of a contemporary exhibition\, this immersive environment expands the traditional viewing experience\, inviting a slower\, more intuitive engagement with the work on view. \nPart 3: Art Exploration \nFollowing the sound bath\, lights will gradually rise and guests will have the opportunity to move through the gallery\, reflect\, and explore the exhibition by Francesco Agresti more deeply in conversation with curator Jovian Browne. \nWhat to bring 🧘🏻‍♂️\nPlease bring the following to support your comfort during the experience:\n– Yoga mat\n– Towel or blanket\n– Comfortable clothing\n– Pillow or cushion (optional) \nPlease arrive to the gallery 10 minutes early to give yourself time to settle in to your place. We will be locking the doors at 4:10PM afterwhich no one else will be permitted to enter the gallery.

SUMMARY:Peonies in Winter: The Long-awaited Works of Nate Jessup
DESCRIPTION:In the mid 1960s\, Nate Jessup earned two Ivy League art degrees\, fully intending to become a practicing professional artist. But the life of a New York gallery artist at the time seemed to him to be at odds with the very act of creating\, so he walked away\, earning his living by other means while he painted in relative obscurity to satisfy his own artistic vision. \nFans of abstract expressionism and the New York School will particularly enjoy this exhibition\, which includes dynamic abstracted figuration highly suggestive of Willem de Kooning\, exquisitely quiet color field works reminiscent of Clyfford Still\, and more. \nNow 83 and still actively painting\, Jessup’s first real gallery exhibition features an exquisite selection of masterful works that span decades of artistic expression and longing.
