The Visual Artists’ Society is preparing to present its popular “Best of the Season” exhibition at the College of Central Florida.
The exhibit will be on display beginning Monday, Nov. 23 at the college’s Webber Gallery, located at 3001 S.W. College Road in Ocala. It is being judged by David Reutter, the museum registrar at the Appleton Museum of Art.
Reutter has a bachelor’s degree in art from Central College in Pella, Iowa, and did his graduate coursework in art history at the University of South Florida in Tampa. He is a board member for Fine Arts For Ocala, the Reilly Associate board and the Ocala Municipal Arts Commission.
This will mark the eighth Florida art show that Reutter has judged. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there will not be an opening reception for the exhibition and all gallery patrons are required to wear a face mask for entry.
The “Best of the Season” exhibit has always been a favorite of gallery visitors. The theme of this year’s exhibition is “Your (COVID) Best.” Members of the Visual Artists’ Society were invited to create works relating to the theme.
The Visual Artists’ Society has more than 100 members from all over Marion County and Central Florida, including professional and amateur artists and many of the College of Central Florida’s students. The group’s exhibits showcase a variety of styles and mediums, including more traditional paintings and photographs, as well as jewelry, sculpture and digital media.
The exhibit will continue through Wednesday, Dec. 16. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The gallery is closed Friday through Sunday and college-observed holidays.
