We invite you to the exhibition “Friendly Arbitration: Honoré Daumier on Crime, Justice, and Punishment” on view at MoFA until Saturday, December 12. Friendly Arbitration examines Honoré Daumier’s (1808–1879) subversive use of lithography and wood engraving as tools for artistic innovation and social critique in nineteenth-century France. Bringing together original prints from his popular series on lawyers, the legal system, and crime and punishment, the exhibition explores how his satirical caricatures challenged judicial authority, exposed social inequities, and helped reshape the fields of art and journalism.
This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of Jay Steele & Matthew Wright.

The FSU Museum of Fine Arts invites you to "Floating Metal: UNDERcurrents In My Father's Garden," on view from August 24, 2026 - March 13, 2027.

“Floating Metal” brings together sculpture, image, video, performance, and sound to honor the artistic legacy of Ed Love (1936-1999) and the intergenerational creative practice of choreographer and performer nia love (b. 1963). The exhibition extends nia love’s long-term serial projects g1(host) and UNDERcurrents, which explore the enduring histories of the Middle Passage and transatlantic slavery. This newest iteration continues to invite audiences to probe the seam between catastrophic history and everyday memory, pivoting on the elemental medium of water.

The exhibition also marks the first museum presentation of Ed Love’s Beloved series (1988) with metal sculptures commemorating black historical figures, completed shortly before his untimely passing in 1999. As a representative yet under-recognized artist of the Black Arts generation, Ed Love is known for welding discarded metal salvaged from scrap yards into powerful totems of global black consciousness. Likewise driven by the social force and weight of blackness, nia love’s multi-modal movement practice aims to breach the propriety of “dance,” refashioning it as gesture–the embodied memory of movement, geographies, and scales of time gathered and shared through black forms of life and culture.

The presentation of Floating Metal: UNDERcurrents In My Father’s Garden by nia love was made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Foundation and the Mellon Foundation. Additional support comes from FSU’s Council on Research + Creativity (CRC).

Hours subject to change due to holidays and University closures.

Mapped Journeys in Color & Verse features the abstract works of Susan Antoinette and local abstract artists.

Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit on Operation Market Garden. This exhibit will be on display at the museum from Tuesday, September 1 until Saturday, October 3. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm ET. There is no charge for admission, but donations are gladly accepted.

Operation Market Garden (September 17th - 27th, 1944) was the attempt to establish control of the bridge over the Rhine at Arnhem on the border of Germany and the Netherlands. This involved the combined efforts of the First Allied Airborne and the XXX Corps of the British 2nd Army. The battle was unsuccessful for a variety of reasons, including the dependence on a single raised highway the ground forces had to use to link up with airborne troops (US, British and Polish) dropped at the three bridges.

This exhibit presents the military commanders from both the Allied and the German forces, and presents information of the Horsa and Waco gliders, as well as the Douglas C47 Skytrain aircraft used to bring troops and equipment from England.

The battle was commemorated in “A Bridge Too Far”, the 1977 film. “Band of Brothers”, a miniseries from HBO in 2001, also depicted the 101st Airborne's part in this battle. They landed near Eindhoven and Veghel.

Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located at 1873 Hwy 98 West, directly across from the very beach where the beach assault training occurred in 1942-1943. Carrabelle Beach was the site of many practice beach assault landings. For more information, contact Camp Gordon Johnston Museum at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

The Jack Hadley Black History Museum, Pebble Hill Plantation, and Thomasville History Center present a free Lunch & Learn Speaker Series exploring the people, places, and stories that have shaped our community over the past 200 years.

Join Dr. John Cable as he discusses the topic of his next book: Homesteads and Hope: Georgia’s Midcentury Experiments in Communal Farming. Dr. Cable received his doctorate from Florida States University and leads classes in the History Department at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton.

In the 1930s and 1940s — amid depression and war — hundreds of Georgians joined planned farming communities. Dr. Cable will give an overview of resettlement communities run by the federal government, including Irwinville (Irwin County), Wolf Creek (Grady County), and the all-African American Flint River Farms project (Macon County) as well as non-government farming communities like Koinonia (Sumter County) and the Monastery of the Holy Spirit (Rockdale County).
