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 Florida A&M University Foster-Tanner Fine Arts Gallery invites you to experience our new art exhibition, "Marilyn Proctor-Givens: Exploration of a Process." This exhibition will feature a collection of works by celebrated artist and art educator Marilyn Proctor-Givens. Proctor-Givens’ featured artwork spans four decades and showcases her exploration of media and processes, including graphic design, photography, glass, wood, fabric, leather, filament, and ceramics. Her ceramic forms use both traditional and Raku firing techniques, bringing together traditional ceramic forms like vessels and platters and her trademark sculptural forms, including distinctive haloed masks and jigsaw puzzle pieces embossed forms. Many of Proctor-Givens’ works draw upon family, culture, religion, and travel. Through her hand, many techniques, materials, and processes are presented, revealing the connections made with people, places and things.

LeMoyne Arts invites you to experience Loose Thread, a solo exhibition featuring the work of Laura De Valencia-Kirk.

Join Eleanor Whitte as she shares her journey as a pioneering African American engineer, inventor, and motivational speaker. A Thomas County native, Whitte spent 35 years with Xerox Corporation, rising to serve as a Project Lead System Engineer and becoming a named inventor on a 1990 U.S. patent.

Whitte broke barriers in a field where few Black women were represented, building a legacy of perseverance, innovation, and leadership throughout her career. Her story reflects both the challenges and opportunities faced by African American women in science and engineering during the twentieth century. This program, sponsored by the Jack Hadley Black History Museum, celebrates a Thomas County trailblazer whose accomplishments reached far beyond our community.
