Summer is coming soon and we're gearing up for a busy season! Here's a look at the upcoming exhibits and events for May and June...and as always, thank you for supporting the arts! QUANTA An Exhibit by Dave Levick May 8-29, 2021 "These works reveal some of the correlations unlocked by squaring the circle by equal perimeter/circumference; and insoluble problem; but for practical purposes, reconciling the irreconcilable." "Lines drawn tangent to the extremities of the coil inscribe an architecturally and geometrically accurate cross-section of the great pyramid at Giza." -Dave Levick     "Rebirth" by Rae Ruff June 5-30, 2021 Reception June 5th @ 5pm "My re-awakening of painting vivid abstracts created through synesthesia, in the form of visualizing colors through the vibrations of music and then painting that which I see. I cannot describe a song in words; in a work of art, I can. I also create pieces by channeling a client's musings or my own emotions and bringing them to life on canvas."   Project Impact's: Paper Hand Puppet Intervention "Kid Series"   This exhibit is the upstairs gallery now until October. The afterschool program Project Impact created a larger-than-life Seahawk puppet along with Monarch Butterflies, Flowers and Fish. Come see the amazing work from our talented local young students.   "Community Moving Education" Youth Arts Program June 1 - July 2 For ages 10-19 This 5 week summer program is designed to introduce our local pre-teens and teenagers about several different aspects of the arts. From culinary art to performance art, photography, painting, music and more! To sign up contact HCA at 850-653-1458, email info@apalachicolahca.com or come by 86 Water Street. Registration is due by May 28th at 5pm.  All paperwork must be completed and turned in before workshops begin.   Clyde Butcher Exhibit "Florida Landscapes" This exhibit is on loan to HCA from Clyde Butcher after being in the Blountstown Community Center that was destroyed in Hurricane Michael in 2018. Come see this large-scale Black and White Photography exhibit in the upstairs gallery at HCA.   Apalachicola Winter Wonderland 2021 Winter Wonderland 2021 will give our community an opportunity to celebrate the Holidays in a big way after a challenging couple of years, while giving the HCA the financial boost it desperately needs. We’ll dress up the beautiful History, Culture and Arts Center in grand holiday splendor, and then use it as a backdrop for lots of fun holiday events for kids and adults.  The premier event of the season will be the Winter Wonderland Ball, a gala dinner-dance, a major source of funding to keep the HCA alive and strong.    Here’s how you can help-- Decorations, inside and outside our beautiful historic building are needed. The goal is fun stuff for kids and adults, Christmas village houses and gizmos, lots of greens, ornaments lights and moving parts.   If you have any old decorations you would like to donate, please bring them to HCA from 11-5 Tuesdays through Saturdays, beginning now! We are starting early and appreciate any help with this!!

The Apalachicola Center for History Culture and Art is located in an iconic 19th century brick building that faces Riverfront Park.  Come visit us Monday - Saturday from 12p.m. - 5p.m.  We look forward to greeting you!   Apalachicola Center for History Culture and Art (HCA) 86 Water Street Apalachicola, FL 32320 850-653-1458 Stay tuned for updates on HCA projects and programs as we navigate the new year. Most exhibits will include virtual ways to participate, and be available on our Facebook page and at www.apalachicolahca.com The Mission of the City of Apalachicola's National Historic District's Center for History, Culture and Art, housed in one of the two remaining renovated 1836 Cotton Exchange buildings located on the waterfront, is to teach that the arts continue to define civilization.  Led by its board and its Director, the Center also creates an economic impact for the region, while messaging to its community of all ages, as well as to tourists, that visual, spoken and written arts, as well as musical art create unique individual and communal experiences which offer solace to the soul of mankind. HCA operates under the auspices of the City of Apalachicola but relies entirely for its funding upon donations, grants, fundraising events and the generous support of our members.  All donations are tax-deductible.
