Farrah Alkhadra (’21, Art) creates two mixed media murals for display at the end of the Arts Complex Courtyard. This is the third year that alumni from the program have been commissioned to create public pieces as part of this project. The murals include bright, saturated colors and geometric components projecting from the surface. The pieces are a continuation of her Senior Project investigations that were inspired by forms, materials, and color theory. Working primarily as a 3D sculptor, Alkhadra combines her signature steel forms with mixed media installation for this project. Sponsored by Gene and Lee Seidler, the Wasmer Endowment, WGCU Public Media, and the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts. This event and the public art are free and open to public viewing.

Chloe Lewis ('18, Art) and Isabella Baquerizo (’19, Art) present Girl Feast as a celebration of friendship, joy, and the experience of girlhood. Through an abundance mindset, sharing, and play this exhibition creates a space where connection and belonging are central to everyday life. The works explore inner worlds and shared experiences, reflecting on how communal moments—especially around food and play—bring people together. The artists encourage us to romanticize the ordinary, and to see the world with an open heart.  Through immersive installations and vibrant artworks, Girl Feast offers a lens into a worldview where joy and togetherness create a sense of wholeness. Girl Feast invites visitors to take a seat at the table, reflect on connection, and engage with the idea that community is built through the smallest, most meaningful exchanges. This exhibition is part of the FGCU Art Galleries’ Alumni Series. Sponsored by the FGCU Alumni Association, Gene and Lee Seidler, the Wasmer Endowment, WGCU Public Media, and the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
