College of Central Florida hosting Visual Artists’ Society ‘Summer Spotlight’ exhibition

The Visual Artists’ Society is presenting the 24th “Summer Spotlight” exhibition June 1-Aug. 5 at the College of Central Florida Webber Gallery, located at 3001 S.W. College Road. There is no fee to visit the exhibition.

“Summer Spotlight XXIV” will be judged and juried. This year’s guest judge is Susan Silverman Fink, born in Manhattan to artist parents. Visit her website at Silvermanart.com for more information.

“The impetus for creating artwork can come from any arena of life. It may come from artists from the past, from the primary building blocks that form all visual imagery, from the great themes of our human existence, or even the minutiae of everyday life,” said Tyrus Clutter, associate professor of Art at CF. “Every aspect of our inner and outer lives is grist for the artistic mill. Coming from a year when our daily lives seemed so much smaller, yet we felt more connected to people across the globe, this year’s Summer Spotlight should possess a focus unlike anything from recent years.”

The Visual Artists’ Society has more than 100 members from all over Marion County and Central Florida. The organization’s exhibits showcase a variety of styles and mediums, including more traditional paintings and photographs, as well as jewelry, sculpture and digital media.

Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The gallery is closed Friday, Saturday, Sunday and college-observed holidays. For additional information, call 352-873-5809.
