2025-11-17, 2025-11-18 | Alcove Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, 33618, United States
Community Shutterbug is an immersive exhibit that reflects my origin story as a photographer, capturing the moments and influences that inspired me to pick up the camera. Each image serves as a window into a world shaped by my passions.
Through this gallery, you’ll embark on a visual journey that weaves together a tapestry of diverse themes—pirates, musicians, reimagined interpretations of classic Hollywood, and otherworldly inspirations. These snapshots are not just photographs but vibrant stories, each echoing the creativity and curiosity that drive my art.

"Give Thanks, Give Back" by Hanna Rachocka
2025-11-17, 2025-11-18 | Gallery at Carrollwood Cultural Center, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa FL 33618
Give Thanks, Give Back by Hanna Rachocka is a charity exhibit benefiting the Carrollwood Cultural Center.
The collection is a series of ten impasto acrylic paintings by Hanna Rachocka that transform the traditional still life into an elemental exploration of emotion, weather, and inner fire. Each vessel becomes a metaphor for the human spirit—resilient in rain, tangled in thought, radiant in bloom, or aflame with creative force. Together, the works weave a narrative of resilience, paradox, celebration, and transformation, inviting viewers to reflect on the seasons and storms of the soul.
Each original painting is valued at $700 but available for a $375 donation. You can purchase each painting by donating directly to the Carrollwood Cultural Center. Paintings are available for immediate pick up once the donation is made. 100% of the proceeds will directly support the Center.

"Silent Guardians" by Laurie Edwards
2025-11-17, 2025-11-18 | Corridor Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, FL, 33618, United States
As an artist working in watercolor, glass, fine jewelry, textiles, and resin, I find inspiration in the beauty of my immediate surroundings. Choosing to notice what is quietly extraordinary in the everyday is a practice that grounds me.
Creative expression—whether through music, writing, or visual art—has always been my way of connecting with the universe and escaping anxiety. Each piece begins as a conversation: with materials, with memory, with wonder, and with the viewer. These creative outlets give me a tangible voice—a way to share what words often cannot.
– Laurie Edwards
