- Aug 28ThuMAKING A CLEAR MARKCome celebrate creativity and connect with fellow art enthusiasts. Enjoy an evening filled with inspiring artwork, engaging conversations, and delightful refreshments at the opening reception and talk. Making A Clear Mark: 1997 to 2025 is a selected survey of paintings by Morgan T. Paine, founding Art Program faculty member and Associate Professor of Art at Florida Gulf Coast University. Featuring his Life Painting with Drawing (1977 to date), the exhibition also includes examples of both his layered and spanned works of acrylic gel medium on a variety of supports, found and constructed. Paine's work is grounded in the belief that painting is both a physical and conceptual activity. His life-long effort is to get to the essence of painting, using the foundational element of all acrylic paint, a nearly colorless binder called gel acrylic medium. Sponsored by Gene and Lee Seidler, the Wasmer Endowment, and 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.

- Aug 29FriHEART AND SOUL: PAUL FIRMINHeart and Soul: Paul Firmin Public Art Project Outside the north end of the Arts Complex October 2024 – October 2025 FGCU Art Program Alumni Paul Firmin (‘23, Art) was selected for the second annual Public Art Project. In the creation of this two-part mural, the artist sought to craft a visual testament to the essence of the Arts Complex at FGCU, perceived as its very heart and soul. Utilizing acrylic paint, the mural brings to life figures imbued with the colors of the heart and third-eye chakras, symbols that resonate deeply with the artist. The heart, linked with breath and nature, and the soul, represented through the elemental imagery of water and the vastness of the ocean, merge to form a holistic vision. This artwork was envisioned to act as a conduit of healing energy for all who pass through the Arts Complex, enriching their journey with its restorative essence. This project is supported by a grant from The Community Foundation. Image credit: Paul Firmin, Heart & Soul, 2024, Acrylic on four panels

- Oct 31FriHEART AND SOUL: PAUL FIRMINHeart and Soul: Paul Firmin Public Art Project Outside the north end of the Arts Complex October 2024 – October 2025 FGCU Art Program Alumni Paul Firmin (‘23, Art) was selected for the second annual Public Art Project. In the creation of this two-part mural, the artist sought to craft a visual testament to the essence of the Arts Complex at FGCU, perceived as its very heart and soul. Utilizing acrylic paint, the mural brings to life figures imbued with the colors of the heart and third-eye chakras, symbols that resonate deeply with the artist. The heart, linked with breath and nature, and the soul, represented through the elemental imagery of water and the vastness of the ocean, merge to form a holistic vision. This artwork was envisioned to act as a conduit of healing energy for all who pass through the Arts Complex, enriching their journey with its restorative essence. This project is supported by a grant from The Community Foundation. Image credit: Paul Firmin, Heart & Soul, 2024, Acrylic on four panels
