Imagine a beautiful field of sunflowers on a bright sunny day. That’s the feeling you will get when you create your own Sparkling Glass Sunflower! You will learn how to repurpose upcycled glass by “nipping” it with glass cutters into the shapes you desire. Next, you will build your bold blossom on a 12′ x 12″ cradled wood panel. You may personalize your Sparkling Glass Sunflower by adding small items, such as a piece of costume jewelry, buttons, or other mementos from your personal stash. Your creation will be coated with clear resin to permanently unite everything. The resin requires 24 hours to set, so students may pick up their complete projects on Monday. The final results are worth the wait!

My mom encouraged me to try everything and to invest my time in learning. My curiosity has led me to take countless classes, from collegiate arts to slow stitching, quilt-making, glass collage, decoupage, furniture painting, and anything else I find interesting. Luckily, most creative people are kind-hearted and love to share their talents. That’s the joy my mom knew I would love.”

This exhibition transforms the gallery into a whimsical fish market where visitors can shop for ceramic artwork inspired by the ocean’s industries. This playful nod to the commodification of nature reflects the ways we assign value to the living world. Revisit the nostalgia of a Florida tchotchke shop that nods at how nature is packaged, priced, and consumed in modern culture.Opening Reception: June 13, 5-9pm (<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nina-samuels-catch-of-the-day-exhibition-opening-tickets-1987091219328?aff=oddtdtcreator" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">RSVP Here</a>) On View:&nbsp;June 13 – July 3

Angelina Palmisano’s paintings are a celebration of life’s beautiful and tender moments – a tribute to friends, family, love, and subtle humor, intertwining with the inevitable pain and loss that render the good times so precious. Angelina is an MFA candidate at the University of Central Florida.
Jamie Rodriguez’s immersive installations are inspired by the historical significance of the landscape and the universality of the human condition in relation to environment. There are no found objects in his installations; each element is either carved from insulation foam, cast in wax, plaster or fired clay.

“Healing Through Sound and Art” is an eight-part series that offers participants an opportunity to learn and rebalance the 7 main chakras, by using sound and art as a tool. With the intentional use of sound and art we offer participants a guided, multi-sensory experience that blends the physiological, mental, and spiritual benefits of sound healing with expressive and meditative art practices. The workshop is designed to help attendees slow down, ground their energy, release stress, and engage with art as a pathway to personal reflection and healing.<img src="https://moreanartscenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/20250914_152111-1-300x225.jpg" srcset="https://moreanartscenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/20250914_152111-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://moreanartscenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/20250914_152111-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://moreanartscenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/20250914_152111-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https://moreanartscenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/20250914_152111-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://moreanartscenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/20250914_152111-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https://moreanartscenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/20250914_152111-1.jpg 1920w">

My mom encouraged me to try everything and to invest my time in learning. My curiosity has led me to take countless classes, from collegiate arts to slow stitching, quilt-making, glass collage, decoupage, furniture painting, and anything else I find interesting. Fortunately, most creative people are kind-hearted and love to share their talents. That’s the joy my mom knew I would love.”

Craft your own hoop earrings by forming sterling silver or gold filled metal wire into shapes like a circle or teardrop—and add stunning hammered textures that make each piece stand out. In this session, you’ll learn hands-on wire shaping and texturing techniques, hoop design basics, and how to finish and polish your piece to create your very own wearable art.

I have been a silversmith since 2015, when I learned the artform at Pikes Peak Community College, where I was also a teacher’s assistant for 2 years. I have been a jeweler in two upscale boutiques, and had success selling my jewelry in stores, at markets, and online. Metalsmithing is my passion, and I love to share the techniques of the craft with others!

Shapeshifter: New and Select Works by Palehorse is the distillation of 20 years of work by St. Petersburg based, multidisciplinary artist Chris Parks, and a glimpse into a new body of work that reveals his continued metamorphosis.
Shapeshifter traces the arc of a commercial illustrator who has worked with some of the world’s top brands, bands and cultural icons, and a studio artist and muralist who sees his personal work as a vehicle for sacred connection. In this new collection, Palehorse channels the transformative power of gods, guardians and totems to offer a mirror to the self, weaving together archetypes, sigils, symbols and sacred geometry.
In a retrospective spanning two decades of dedicated practice, Palehorse presents his creative journey through rock poster art, skateboard graphics, wrestling lore and apparel design, reimagined in new ways. He also explores long-imagined collaborations with friends such as Ben Venom, Morning Breath Inc, Masked Republic, Jon Stine and Bryan Nichols, whose influence has been enduring and foundational.
Shapeshifter is a continuum of becoming, a practice of reflection and an expression of gratitude.
About Palehorse
Palehorse is a traditional and digital artist known for his meticulous linework, vivid color palettes, and layered symbolic language. His work spans large-scale murals, gallery installations, identity and branding, print design and apparel.
His artwork has been commissioned by global brands including National Geographic, Nike, FX, Under Armour, PepsiCo and Hasbro, and exhibited in galleries internationally including the renowned Dalí Museum. He has also designed officially licensed posters for artists such as Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Jimi Hendrix and Rush.
Beyond the studio, Palehorse’s work extends into public spaces and popular culture, from co-founding the SHINE St. Petersburg Mural Festival to creating masked professional wrestling personas appearing in AEW and CMLL. His current practice focuses on personal studio work, an original line of clothing and products, and Kriya Yoga. He also leads Seekers of the Eternal, a weekly meditation circle.
