Week of Events
“Give Thanks, Give Back” by Hanna Rachocka (Online Exhibit & Auction)
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.

“Direct/Indirect” by William Talenti

“Here and There” by Willow Wright
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 Human Expression” by Sal Patalano
"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 […]
“On the Edge of a Broken Sky” by Tim Price
"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. […]

“The Magic World of Joel Santana” by Joel Santana
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 […]
