I made my way out to the newly named Morean Arts Center to check out the Visual Unity show last week.

Here is a quick explainer of the show pulled from the Arts Centers site.

Continuing the theme of highlighting work from our local artists, Curator Rocky Bridges brings together 18 artists from the central Florida region to create 36 new pieces of art to share with our community. Each artist will work with at least one other artists from the group to forge new territory in their bodies of work. A true celebration of artistic unity, this exhibition will showcase the work of regional talent, and will also stretch the participating artists as they work with artists who may create in methods and themes completely opposite of their own.

Participating artists:
Tony Eitharong
Rebecca Sexton Larson
Richard Currier
Catherine Bergmann
Tony Savoie
Susan Livingston
Rocky Bridges
Susan Gott
Bruce Gilbert
Leslie Neumann
Clayton Swartz
Margaret Steward
Duncan McClellan
Anna Tomczak
Arnolkis Turro
Lynn Whipple
