Art exhibit featuring handmade dolls to open at Mary Sue Rich Community Center in January

A new art exhibit featuring a variety of unique and handmade fiber art dolls will be on display at the Mary Sue Rich Community Center beginning in mid-January.

The exhibit, which is titled “Revolutionized Textile & Fiber: The Art of Ingrid Humphrey,” will remain on display at the community center through Thursday, May 25, 2023. A preview of the exhibit will be offered online beginning on Friday, December 16.

Ingrid Taylor-Humphrey, a native Floridian, is the artist and creator of “The Original Sister Dolls Collection.” This collection was created as a worldwide representation of the sisterhood of women of color, and it was inspired by African and African American culture.

Each doll in the collection has a uniqueness in design, application of hair, and style of dress, among other traits, that gives it a distinct personality and effect.

The upcoming exhibit will be free to attend and open to the public.

For more information, please contact the City of Ocala Cultural Arts and Sciences Division via phone (352-629-8447) or email (artinfo@ocalafl.org); or visit the City of Ocala’s Art in City Spaces webpage.

The Mary Sue Rich Community Center is located at 1821 NW 21st Avenue in Ocala.
