SHAPE OF SURVIVAL: STILL HERE, STILL STRONG - WORKS BY MONICA DIAZ
June 3 - July 12, 2026
"Shape of Survival" is a declaration of the courage it takes to begin again.
Presented by Ambar Santiago. Curated by Juan Pablo Santa Luna.
MILLS GALLERY - 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
. Artist Monica Diaz has survived cancer, divorce, depression, and the painful process of leaving an abusive, narcissistic relationship.
Rather than allowing those experiences to define her only through pain, Diaz has transformed them into a body of work about strength and reclaiming one’s life.
This exhibition is not only about what Monica Diaz survived.
It is about who she became.
The Opening Reception is on June 3rd, 2026, at 6:30 p.m.
OF FLESH & FAITH: THE WILD MEETS THE WAY - WORKS BY XAVIER MOSS
June 4 - July 4, 2026
“Flesh & Faith: The Wild Meets the Way” is meant to challenge your instinct and intuition.
Presented by Juan Pablo Santa Luna. Curated by Ambar Santiago.
LUMP GALLERY - 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Flesh & Faith: The Wild Meets the Way” is a visceral painting series by Xavier Moss, where each work hums with tension, demanding to know what it means to be both driven and deliberate, feral and faithful, all at once.
While Moss is still incorporating colorful fluorescents and biblical visual storytelling that returning viewers from the WINN WIN 2025 may recognize, these works result in a fuller, more engaging experience of the journey.
The Opening Reception is on Thursday, June 4th at 6:30 p.m.
THINGS WE THINK WE KNOW, THE ART OF DOUG BLOODWORTH
March 19 - May 31, 2026
Through Things We Think We Know, Doug Bloodworth’s photorealist style is a HUGE “double-take” experience.
Curated by Juan Pablo Santa Luna.
MILLS GALLERY - 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
At first glance, Bloodworth’s paintings read like high-resolution photos. But step closer. Every reflection, every crease, every glint of light is meticulously painted by hand. Packed with pop-culture relics and snack-aisle Americana, these paintings spark recognition through personal and collective memories.
Things We Think We Know invites us to reconsider perception itself. What do we assume is real? And why do certain objects carry such emotional weight?
Please join us for the opening reception of this solo exhibition and to experience firsthand the power and nostalgia that define this fantastic exhibition!
The Opening Reception is on Thursday, March 19th at 6:30 pm.
Exotic Landscapes Of Morocco - Terry Olson Photography
April 2 - May 31, 2026
For photographer and Orlando Arts Instigator Terry Olson, Exotic Landscapes of Morocco is not a travelogue. It is expectation versus lived reality.
LUMP GALLERY - 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Like many Americans, Terry Olson’s early image of Morocco was shaped by cinema and myth, most notably Casablanca.
What he encountered instead was a country of startling juxtapositions: ancient Roman ruins standing in the shadow of glass skyscrapers, Saharan heat giving way to the cold Atlantic wind, and small agricultural towns existing far from the polished narratives of tourism.
This exhibition marks Olson’s first photographic exhibition in Orlando in a long time, making it both a personal milestone and a cultural moment for the city’s arts community.
It introduces a new dimension of an artist long known locally as a connector and instigator, now stepping forward with a deeply personal visual narrative.
The Opening Reception is on April 2nd at 6:30 pm.
