"Here and There" by Willow Wright
2026-04-21 | Alcove Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, 33618, United States
Here and There displays a variety of landscapes that have intrigued me in the past several years in my travels up the coast of the U.S., along the coast of Portugal, near Tavira, and in and around the Tampa Bay area. The land and the light have captured my wonder, wherever I’ve travelled, and I endeavor to document the rich and varied environment we live in. If we don’t take care of it, it could be gone in under 100 years.

"Give Thanks, Give Back" by Hanna Rachocka (Online Exhibit & Auction)
2026-04-21 | Gallery at Carrollwood Cultural Center, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa FL 33618
Give Thanks, Give Back by Hanna Rachocka is an entirely online exhibit and charity auction benefiting the Carrollwood Cultural Center. The exhibit and auction will close on December 31, 2026.
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.

"Direct/Indirect" by William Talenti
2026-04-21 | Atrium Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, 33618, United States
“At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman, and these hills, the softness of the sky, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them.”
-Albert Camus
These six paintings (in the exhibit) concern pigment application and idea combination. I began each piece with a deliberate modality—Realistic, Abstract, or Non-Objective—pairing each with a “sister” painting on an opposing wall to serve as a formal counterpoint. Eventually, the rules dissolved, and I stopped following the recipe. An overlapping of my emotional state and the evolving surface of the paint occurred, allowing the content to find its own voice beyond the initial structure.
Direct/Indirect represents a deliberate unlearning of over thirty years of visual literacy. As both an educator and a painter, I am fascinated by how a personal artistic voice is constructed, refined, and—eventually—dismantled. By isolating the core elements of color, shape, value, and pattern, I converge figurative representation with the intuitive faculty of abstraction. These works seek the tension between what we see and how we think, emptying the familiar to discover what remains.
-William Talenti

"The Human Expression" by Sal Patalano
2026-04-21 | Corridor Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, FL, 33618, United States
“My work begins with an encounter. These photographs are not taken from a distance or in anonymity. Each image begins with a conversation — an introduction, a shared moment, and permission granted between two people who were unknown to one another minutes before.
I am drawn to faces that carry experience rather than performance. Working primarily on the street, I seek moments where vulnerability, dignity, and individuality reveal themselves outside controlled environments. The resulting portraits exist between street photography and formal portraiture: spontaneous yet deliberate, candid yet collaborative.”
– Sal Patalano

"On the Edge of a Broken Sky" by Tim Price
2026-04-21 | Lobby Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, 33618, United States
“On the Edge of a Broken Sky explores the emotional, psychological, and social spaces that exist between us—zones shaped by connection and care, but also by fear, judgment, misunderstanding, and conflict.
The works in this exhibition reflect a way of seeing that’s been developed over three decades of visual journalism across print, web, and broadcast. “Broken Sky” functions as both metaphor and condition: a shared emotional landscape fractured by experience, yet still capable of illumination.”
– Tim Price

"The Magic World of Joel Santana" by Joel Santana
2026-04-21 | Art Corner Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, F, 33618, United States
After twenty years illustrating for advertising and major gaming studios, I kept returning to the same question: what does it mean to make something that simply is, that doesn’t sell a product or tell someone else’s story?
This show is my answer. The work varies between overlooked moments, light cutting through ordinary scenes, and whimsical narratives that carry more than they first appear. I paint from faith and from light. Two things that, for me, have always been the same thing.
