Herion Park : UnBroken
Herion Park’s soft-form fiber sculptures, presented as a wall-based installation, explore the intricate terrain of the human emotional landscape. Rooted in intimate familial narratives, this body of work honors the enduring love of her mother and six sisters while navigating the profound grief following her mother’s passing. Through precariously balanced and deliberately fragmented compositions, Park’s sculptures function as physical metaphors for the tender, unstable moments that define our closest relationships. The work reflects both the fragility of the human condition and the quiet resilience that sustains us, capturing the tension between breaking apart and holding on.

Rooted in Community
Rooted in Community is a group exhibition that honors and highlights the rich contributions of artists from Sarasota’s Newtown and Overtown communities—two historically Black neighborhoods whose cultural and creative voices have profoundly shaped the city’s artistic identity. Spanning generations and styles, this exhibition will feature the work of established and emerging artists whose roots in Newtown and Overtown reflect a visual narrative of innovation and artistic excellence. These artists have not only documented the cultural evolution of Sarasota but have actively contributed to its growth as a creative city.

Kendra Frorup: At Home Anywhere
At Home Anywhere is a body of work rooted in personal experience, cultural memory, and adaptability. My art is a convergence of memory, material, and meaning—an ongoing exploration of belonging, transformation, and the layered narratives that shape who we are. The exhibition invites viewers to recognize the potential in what surrounds us and to understand that home is not fixed; it is something we carry, continually shaping and re-creating. This inquiry remains central to my practice as I deepen my engagement with artistic traditions in Africa, uncovering the shared threads of human experience that connect us across geography and time.

Juried Show: Art of the Spectacle
This exhibition explores the intersection of fashion, circus, and stagecraft, capturing the drama, elegance, and eccentricity of the performing arts. Art of the Spectacle creates a visual celebration of performance, where costume, movement, and theatrics take center stage.
