The Carrabelle History Museum is presenting a special exhibit, “Tate’s Hell, the Legend, Tate's Hell, the Place”. This exhibit will open on Saturday, March 16 and run through Saturday, April 27.

There is no charge for admission; donations are gratefully accepted to defray costs.
This Tate’s Hell exhibit will explore the many facets of the legend of Tate’s Hell, the misadventures and fate of Cebe Tate, and how Tate's Hell State Forest got its name. Wildlife and landscape photos taken in Tate’s Hell by John Spohrer and Jon Johnson will be on display. This exhibit will also include the song, The Ballad of Tate’s Hell by Will McLean and performed by Frank Lindamood and the FSU Department of Communications’ 1983 short film, “A Tale of Tate’s Hell”. "In the folk region, people are wedded to the land, and the land holds memories. The people themselves possess identity and ancestry, through continuous occupation of the same soil. Local events can flower into legend and ballad and proverb, and village ways can harden into custom." Richard M. Corson in American Folklore.
Carrabelle History Museum is located at SE 106 Avenue B, Carrabelle, FL.

Jacob Lawrence: Three Series of PrintsFebruary 16 – May 4, 2024From the Collections of Dr. and Mrs. Leon Banks & Alitash Kebede
Organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions
Since his Great Migration series was first celebrated in Forbes magazine in 1940, when the artist was only 23 years old, Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000) has produced a body of work that captures Black history and human history through the artist’s unique and dramatic style. Lawrence told stories through series of paintings, and in his graphic work, Lawrence has chronicled important histories and his own experience, from depictions of the Haitian Revolution to scenes of daily life in Harlem. Lawrence’s work chronicles a universal struggle toward equality that is deeply seated in the depths of the human consciousness. This exhibition features 31 graphic works by Jacob Lawrence created between 1983 and 1997. Included are works from his Hiroshima Series, the Genesis Series, and the Toussaint L’Ouverture Series.

The LeRoy Collins Leon County Public Library system's Eastside branch is pleased to host an exhibit of textile art by local artist Erika Zambello. Erika's mini-quilt collection draws on two textile traditions, knitting and quilting, to explore both historic and natural themes. The quilts are constructed from hand-knit squares, backed by cotton or felt, and include embroidered and appliquéd details.
Artist biography: Erika combines fibercraft, memoir, and nature exploration to tell stories through quilts and textiles. Fiber art is often associated with work completed “in the home;” She deliberately combines these crafts with nature and science themes to explore connections between people and the natural world around us. Erika’s work has been featured in Parade Magazine, the New York Times, Piecework, Spin Off, Interweave, National Parks Magazine, and more. Her pieces have been exhibited in the Tallahassee City Hall gallery, the Gadsden Art Center and Museum member gallery, and the Leon County Library system, with an upcoming Art in Public Spaces exhibit in the Tallahassee airport.
This exhibit will be on display at the Eastside branch from April 16th through May 17th.
