Tickets
Mar 5 @ 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm

March 5-24, 2021 • Art Exhibit | Capital Gallery | Oneiros | Dharma Lefevre
Oneirus is the gates of dreams, It is a sacred and ancient place where all dreams pour forth. They fall all over the world as visions, transcendental states, lessons, prophecies and inspiration. It is here where dreams find their conduits to become realities through ancient shamans to modern day world leaders, everything starts as a dream or an idea, it is just a matter of finding the perfect dreamer to bring such to life.
Local fine artist, Dharma Lefevre, is one of those dreamers. Through the years she has developed a deep respect and love for esoteric, lore and ancient religions. When she began to paint she used her creativity to breathe new life into these. With this show she invites the viewer to not only pull you into the heart of these, the dreams, ideas and visions that became realities but to also tell you the lore behind each piece.
• Opening Friday, March 5 at 6pm-10pm on display through March 24 2021 • Entry donation • For more info call 239.333.1933 or visit the website at www.sbdac.com

A Woman of Vision: Peggy Guggenheim – Online Art Lecture @ Online
Tickets
Mar 18 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am

Peggy Guggenheim was a daring, charismatic and intelligent woman who knew a thing or two about art and artists (after all, she was married to Max Ernst). Peggy hired the revolutionary French artist, Marcel Duchamp, to be her mentor and collected his early works. One of her most brilliant insights was to see the potential of the American Abstract/Expressionist painter, Jackson Pollock, and to become his patron. Pollock remains one of the most influential painters in American art history.
Peggy led one of the great uncategorizable 20th-century lives. Poor little rich girl? Sexual libertine? Scandalous memoirist? Parisian emigre? Venetian doyenne?
Influential art collector? Even more influential gallery owner? All of the above.
Join art historian Kevin Costello as we examine her life and her idiosyncratic collection.
This exciting, live virtual art lecture series is free to Alliance members or $15 for non-members. You may become a member to participate. Pre-registration is required at ArtInLee.org/Classes.
Please note: this interactive and hands-on lecture is hosted online, which means you get to enjoy it from the comfort of your living room, studio or kitchen table! It will be hosted via Zoom. If you’ve never used zoom before, we suggest you take some time to familiarize yourself with the platform ahead of time and download the app. You can find everything you’ll need at Zoom.us or in the App store on your phone or tablet. An access link will be provided prior to the start of class.
About the presenter, Kevin Costello: Kevin Costello graduated from the Chelsea School of Art and University of London’s Goldsmiths College with diplomas in Fine Art and Art History.
Kevin’s involvement in the Sarasota arts community is varied and includes having been Art and Architecture Correspondent for the Sarasota Herald Tribune and a Contributing Writer for Arts and Culture Magazine.
Kevin, a studio artist, has taught painting, figure and conceptual drawing, sculpture and art history at the San Francisco Academy of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Art, and the Ringling College of Art and Design.
He is a poet and a lecturer in contemporary art history at numerous arts and continuing education institutions throughout Central West Florida
