There is still time to come out and enjoy viewing and purchasing beautiful art from the "New Beginnings" exhibition at Stan Johnson Creative art gallery! By popular request, the inaugural exhibition, which was scheduled to run through April 11, has been extended through May 16.

Approximately 52 works of art created and collected by Tallahassee and North Central Florida artists are on display. The artists and their works within this exhibition may also be viewed online at: https://www.sjc.gallery/artists-collections-1

The exhibition features works by contemporary and award-winning artists Paul Houzell (Tallahassee, Florida) and Turbado Marabou (Gainesville, Florida), a special collection of African Art curated by Ok Sun Burks (Starke, Florida), and fine art photography by gallery owner Stan Johnson (Quincy, Florida) featuring images from his recent travel to Cuba.
