Paintings

Surface pattern designer turned award-winning expressionist painter Kim McAninch now has an exhibition at the Alliance for the Arts titled “It Makes Me Wonder.” We talk with the Sarasota-based artist about the exhibit, her background, and her creative process.

The 37th Annual All Florida Juried Exhibit is on view this month in the main gallery of the Alliance for the Arts. The show continues to grow in stature and statewide recognition, as evidenced by the fact that the Alliance received 120 more submissions this year than it did in 2022. That presented this year’s juror, Grace Gdaniec, with quite the challenge when it came to deciding which 60 or so works to include in this year’s exhibition.

We explore an exhibition currently running at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens titled, "We Dream A World: African American Landscape Painters of Mid-Century Florida, The Highwaymen," with the exhibit's curator Radiah Lovette Harper.

The exhibition runs through Feb. 26.
