2022 Exhibitions & Events"What's on Your Table?"
at the Jacksonville Main Library Nov 2022-Jan 2023 A Feast for the Eyes
Amid the rush and excitement of a busy holiday season, we are often presented with moments of quiet. Whether you're taking stock at the end of a long year or taking the opportunity to gather around a table with family and friends, December can be a time for reflection. For some, the question "What's On Your Table?" might mean a simple dinner menu. For you, the answer might include traditional meals, beloved family recipes or the fine china and silver service you only use for special occasions. When you ask the fine artists from The Art Center Cooperative, Inc. and Jacksonville Artists Guild the same question, what you get is a uniquely personal and stunning new art exhibition in the Gallery at Main Library. Open Monday, November 28, 2022, through January 5, 2023, "What's on Your Table?" features work from 34 accomplished local artists. Our Florida at the Main Library Aug-Sept 2022 From Sandy beaches, birds on the wing, flowers, landscapes, framlands, museums, and theatres, you name it, Florida's got it.
And you can see it all on display at the Gallery at Main Library where The Art Center Cooperative, Jacksonville Artists' Guild and 38 local artists proudly present their vision of "Our Florida." This fine art exhibition is open to the public from August 3 through September 24. 
Jacksonville Past and Present at the Main Library June-July 2022 Jacksonville celebrates its Bicentennial this Saturday.

NOVEMBER 3RD, 2021 - JANUARY 3RD, 2022 Human nature dictates once we are told to stay inside, our mind wanders to the outside and to some bucket list activities. Always meant to; go pick blue berries, plant a vegetable garden, walk a couple of miles every day, cook two gourmet meals a week, teach the children to roller skate, learn another language and the list goes on. Now that we are reaching Post Pandemic life, do you still have your list, turn your visions, actions into images for this exhibition reflecting hope in these trying times.

Lana Shuttleworth
“Re-“ … A Prefix for Art and Life APR 2023 Artists Bio – Lana Shuttleworth
“To call Shuttleworth’s work ‘unique’ is not an exercise in hyperbole. She sculpts bold forms and landscape surfaces that are cut, carved, and assembled with thousands of slivers of plastic and brad nails. She grants redemption to these lowly cast-off materials by transforming them into a feast for the eyes. Her work underscores her commitment to opposing the destructive razing of nature, while simultaneously elevating mankind’s sensitivity to and appreciation of nature in her art.” – Arbus Magazine, 2018 An Evening with Kevin Arthur MAR 2023 Bio: My artwork was selected to compete in the Artfields Art Prize competition in South Carolina. I enjoyed being a member artist at the Southlight Gallery downtown and have shown at JIA Haskell Gallery, Gallery 1037, The Space Gallery, Home Street Gallery as well as several pop up galleries through the Art League of Jacksonville. I am also a member/instructor with the Art League of Jacksonville and have instructed at the Ponte Vedra Cultural Center and UNF. I am a member of the Portrait Society of America, First Coast Plein Air Painters and the First Coast Pastel Society. I belong to and facilitate several local drawing groups and artists organizations in Jacksonville as well as southern Indiana and Kentucky. I work in charcoal, graphite, pastel, watercolor, oil and most recently printmaking.
Painting from the Heart Presentation by Ted Head FEB 2023 "When my brush dances between reality and imagination, I believe anything can happen..." TH
Bio: My love of drawing began when I could hold a crayon. A yellow-green one, I remember distinctly. Not only did it have a pleasing color, but it also tasted pretty good. Even as a child, my enjoyment of nature’s beauty was never-ending. The intricacy and playfulness of colors, patterns, light, and shadows have always fascinated me. Colorful Expressions Presentation by Beth Haizlip JAN 2023 My paintings range from florals, tropical scenes, and landscapes to still life and portraiture. I truly love it all! The more I paint, the bolder I become with my color, design, and composition. Find out more about Beth and her work at Beth Haizlip fine artist
