Education Mixer Saturday, January 8 • Join us for a morning of fellowship and fine points! Whether you've been an Alliance Instructor for years or are interested in teaching your first class, we'd love to have you stop by and spend a bit of time meeting new staff and getting to know other instructors. We'll share the ins and outs of teaching at the Alliance, meet some new faces and see some familiar ones while enjoying light refreshments. While this event is free, an RSVP is required. 36th Annual All Florida Exhibition Deadline is Monday, January 24 • This annual show is the most anticipated of the year. As the name suggests, this exhibition features pieces created by artists working in a wide variety of media from all over the 65,000 square miles that make up Florida. The juried entries come together for an award-winning and exciting exhibition representing today's contemporary Florida artists. Awards include $1,000 cash for Best In Show, a 2nd Place gift certificate, $100 cash for 3rd place and Jurors Choice Award(s) of Alliance for the Arts membership(s). States of Being Exhibition In the Gallery January 7 – 29 • Carol Coates work conveys feeling states and is centered on issues of perception and choice. Her abstract pieces are visual tone poems. She uses Surreal, Classical, Minimal, and Abstract imagery to communicate. While the work varies in style, the content and aesthetics are constant. It can be poetic and dead serious or quirky and laced with humor. It is all from one heart and one mind. She hopes to evoke an emotional and empathic response from the viewer. Finally, she hopes to provoke thought and promote greater wisdom and justice. Alice Kiderman creates work that is a blend of the realistic and the abstract in shape, though she believes that the abstract is just an extension of the world around us. It her hope that her sculpture evolves emotions and projects the victory of the spirit… untamed. See how the work of these two artists work together to explore what it is to be human, a state of being we all share. Opening Reception: Friday January 7 from 5-7 p.m. See it first. See it free. This event is open to the public. Come meet your neighbors at this free event! The Colored Museum by George C. Wolfe and directed by Sonya McCarter Performances January 8 – 30 • The Colored Museum has electrified, discomforted, and delighted audiences of all colors, redefining our ideas of what it means to be Black in contemporary America. Its eleven "exhibits" undermine black stereotypes old and new, and return to the facts of what being Black means. This is an immersive theatrical experience where audiences will travel throughout the Alliance gallery and campus to visit each "exhibit." Ironically, the theatre will be the only space not used for the production. This production is sponsored by William & Shareen Groce and made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts.
