It’s the sixteenth year of celebrating creative innovation for the “Art on Banyan: Five Women” Exhibit, presented at the Boca Grande Art Center. This year the group welcomes a new addition, ceramic artist Carol Mack. Her passion for both clay and printmaking is revealed in her delicate vessels, which employ multiple applications of incising, underglazes, colored slips and glaze, bringing line and color together to achieve visual depth.

The show also features new, remarkable creations by Esther Jensen (glass), Diana Runyon (mixed media, including another magnificent glass mosaic tarpon), Susan Shaffer (mixed media) and Dianna Shandorf (pastel). All are established, many award-winning, artists and exhibiting members of the Boca Grande Art Center. The public is invited to attend an opening wine reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23, followed by exhibit hours on Friday, Feb. 24 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, please contact Susan Shaffer at (941) 456-2532 or e-mail sshafferart@gmail.com.
