Upcoming Exhibitions

Adventum Floridana

On View from March 13–June 7, 2025

The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery is proud to announce Adventum Floridana: Witnessing the Layers of a Vanishing Horizon, a solo exhibition by Andrés Cabrera-Garcia curated by Sophie Bonet. This evocative exhibition examines the fragile beauty of South Florida’s landscapes in a state of flux, offering viewers an opportunity to engage with the region’s shifting horizons through Cabrera-Garcia’s compelling works.

Cabrera-Garcia’s practice captures the tensions between nature and human intervention, translating ephemeral moments of light, texture, and urban transformation into dynamic visual narratives. His expressive brushstrokes evoke the sensory experience of South Florida—dense humidity, fading light, and the ever-present hum of development—immersing viewers in the visceral realities of a landscape in transition.

Join us for the opening reception on March 13, 6–9 PM

Of Seeing and Being: Deering Estate at the Frank

On View from March 13-June 7, 2025

The Deering Estate, in collaboration with The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery, is proud to present Of Seeing and Being, an evocative exhibition featuring works by Deering Estate Artists-in-Residence Giannina Dwin and Tony Fernandez. This exhibition is part of the Deering Estate at The Frank program, a partnership that brings Deering Estate Artists-in-Residence to new audiences by showcasing their work in dynamic, collaborative venues beyond the Estate.

Of Seeing and Being delves into profound questions of presence, absence, and the interplay between the visible and the hidden. Drawing inspiration from Martin Heidegger’s concepts of Dasein (“Being there”) and Poiesis (the creative act of bringing forth Being), the exhibition offers a thought-provoking exploration of identity, temporality, and the human relationship with the environment.
