Rain nor shine will keep the good people of Jacksonville away from Downtown Artwalk. Another glorious celebration of local artist and our second opening of Hillary McCullough's Assembled Futility Series. In case you missed it, Hillary's work will be on display until the end of October. See y'all next time!

Three new exhibits to see at Southlight right now!
If you've visited us in the last few years you may recognize the work of Stephanie Cafcules floating through the entry way of the gallery. She was back in this week to install an updated version and brought some colorful changes to the space!
We also have a new display from Gallery Director Michael Dunlap, titled "Artwalk 1975", a series of photographs of Paris during a Versailles tour.
And last but certainly not least, our Guest Artist Hillary McCullough's Assembled Futility Series.

We may not have forests of oranges and yellows during the Fall season here in Jax, but the humidity is down to 50% and there's a warm breeze in the air instead of a hot one! Southlight will be opening for October's Art Walk on the 7th from 5PM to 8PM. This is going to be a special one for residents and vendors... more info coming soon!

In honor of David Hockney (1938 - 2026), this display of my 1975 photoshoot chronicles part of an art adventure to meet several well-known artists, which was organized by Robert Miller (NYC) for a select few. As luck would have it, I was at 23, on the plane to France— my first trip across the Atlantic— Hasselblad camera in tow.
Chief among the artists we met was David Hockney. He was very kind and a great storyteller and the time he spent with our group was memorable. The proofs of my spontaneous photo shoot, filmed in his apartment in Paris, had been lost for a long while, and it’s a joyous discovery to share them now with the community.
David Hockney, an icon, was a great influence on many in the art world and beyond. I found him to be a remarkably kind, witty & unassuming man- not what one would expect of an art world superstar. From one of his stories, I gleaned his prevailing motivation in creating. When asked by a technician why he focused on a particular subject matter he replied,
“Pleasure, pure pleasure!”

Another Art Walk for the books!
The rain cleared and we were graced with three generations of photographers in one room! A big thank-you to our guest artist, Hillary McCullough, for an amazing show. Having her mentor, Paul Karabinis, and her students together in one room was truly special. In case you missed us, we are open Tuesday thru Friday from 11Am to 3Pm!

Another Art Exhibition opening tonight is, Reflections of Jacksonville: a group exhibition exploring identity, place, and belonging. Hosted by The Individuality Complex at Downtown Jacksonville Art Walk in the Downtown Vision, Inc. space!

Downtown Art Walk is just around the corner and if you're in need of some local talent, look no further!
We wanted to highlight our fellow gallery spaces and the amazing Museum of Contemporary Art of Jacksonville that will be opening for Art Walk - free admission of course.
