There's lots going on this weekend, and the weather looks good, too...
Perceptions and Memories: Marianne Chapel @ C. Emerson Fine Arts - Marianne Chapel, who taught at UT and Ringling before moving to Panama to work, also working at her studio in Canada. She uses traditional materials and methods coupled to conceptual concerns, which sounds like an interesting combination. Opens Saturday, April 14th, 6-9 PM. C. Emerson Fine Arts, 909 Central Avenue. St Pete. Free admission.

Film on Film, Nancy Cervenka solo show @ HCC Dale Mabry - As long as we're talking about our cultural treasure, Nancy Cervenka, I should mention this excellent show is still open at HCC Dale Mabry Campus.

Thank you sir. No hype, this may just be my favorite show in 6 years. The contextual basis is strong,technically the work is masterful and for installation it is the cohesive top level installation. I am as proud of this artist Marianne Chapel as a gallerist can be.
