American Soil | American Soul is a collaborative fine art experience presented by Durrell and Ashley Smith at Wall Space in Grassroots Coffee Co. The exhibition illustrates how Durrell and Ashley found their personal connections to the Soil of America and how those connections revealed a shared purpose of contributing to healing the Soul of America through their work in the Outdoors. The art show explores the confluence of the joy and responsibility of stewardship and how finding a connection point with the outdoors positively impacts your internal ecology so that the collective may progress.
 
Join us for this southern contemporary arts exhibition at Wall Space in Grassroots Coffee Co. Opening during the 29th Annual Wildlife Festival, Durrell will be speaking during the Land + Lore Education Series on November 17 where we will talk to wildlife artists about how ecology influences their studio practice. Join us in welcoming Ashley and Durrell on December 6 for an opening reception at Grassroots Coffee where the duo will discuss their creative practice and influences on their newest body of work.

Ysabel Flores | Between Here + There
Exhibition | August 26 – October 27, 2024

Ysabel Flores is a Sanford-based artist currently residing in Tallahassee where she is working on her Master’s in Fine Arts at Florida State University. Flores is primarily a painter and enjoys experimenting with a variety of materials and mediums. In her exhibition, Between Here and There, she showcases paintings and monotypes created through observing moments of solitude and life transitions. “Taking myself on a walk, whether around the neighborhood or on distant trails, brings a sense of calm, clarity, and wonder to a restless mind. As a painter, every brushstroke, every tone, and every line is used to narrate the moments between different destinations,” says Flores.
