Our new show "Abstract This!" is a break from most of our artists' regular painting styles, and for some, a change of medium! Although we are still foregoing our First Friday openings, Eau Gallery is open for your dose of creativity Monday through Saturday, from 11 am to 3 pm. Masks required.

Brevard County Parks & Recreation brings a First Friday Event to Viera Regional Park. There will be a local vendor market and food trucks from all over Florida for everyone to enjoy!

If interested in being part of this event, please email SouthAreaParks@BrevardFL.gov.

Fifth Avenue Art Gallery is pleased to announce that the rescheduled exhibit Aesop and other Fables will open on August 3 and run through August 29. This body of work, revolving around the world of birds, mostly of ravens and crows, is the creation of artist Larry Vienneau. The First Friday Opening Reception will be on August 7, from 5:30 - 8:30 PM. Please come and meet this amazing artist.

Vienneau says of his process I fell in love with printmaking as soon as I made my first print! It felt like I was opening a wrapped present and, thirty-five years later, I still get excited. It is one of the things that keep me addicted to it. I enjoy painting and drawing but the process of printmaking intrigues me. It is indirect. It is both craft and art.

Larrys prints and paintings are about history. He loves to learn about the past, and about the stories and belief systems of our many ancestors. Each image has a Narrative, which is as important as the image itself. He wants people to slow down and take the time to read. His artwork also celebrates the intelligent and misunderstood raven and crow.

Vienneau explains I began this new series in 2010, but I started my Ravens images when I lived in Alaska as book illustrations for a Native American writer. I lived in Alaska for a dozen years and my most lasting and powerful memories are of these majestic birds. Though in Florida now, I still explore the image of Ravens and Crows.

Larry holds a BFA in painting from University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and a MFA in Painting/Printmaking from Southern Illinois University. After school he lived on Nantucket Island where he sold artwork in local galleries, and taught printmaking and painting at the Nantucket Artist Association. He briefly lived and exhibited in Hong Kong before moving to Alaska and teaching art at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Alaska inspired large scale landscape paintings and the start of his Raven Series. He currently resides and works in Florida.

This exhibit promises to be exciting and powerful. Plan to come spend some time with the birds. Fifth Avenue Art Gallery is located in the Eau Gallie Arts District. All events are free and open to the public. For more information, please call 321-259-8261.

Founded in 2011, The Animal Sanctuary is getting close to constructing the first building on our 16-acre campus-like refuge for abused, neglected and unwanted domestic animals. This refuge will be a cage-free, no-kill, safe oasis where animals can wait in a no-stress environment for that special person to adopt them into loving, forever homes, or live out their remaining years surrounded by caring, compassionate animal-loving staff and volunteers.



While our focus has always been on raising funds to bring the dream of this 11-building haven to reality, we have and do continue to rescue animals (over 360 to date), with the help of fosters and donors. Funds are pulled from these sources and put into our building fund while ALL profits from our upscale Sanctuary Thrift Shoppe that has been in operation since 2012, goes directly into our building fund. Covid-19 has hurt us tremendously and we NEED YOUR HELP so we can stay on track and start construction this year with the goal of rescuing more animals in need of a safe, loving place to call home.



Thank you for your interest in The Animal Sanctuary's FIRST virtual event, our "Rescue, Love, and BUILD Raffle." Together, through education, word-of-mouth, volunteering, and donating to animal rescue organizations, that we, together, can give abused and neglected animals a second chance of knowing safety, peace and LOVE.

Even though Green Gables committee has submitted to be considered for State funding to own Green Gables,the home, we must work toward repairing, stabilizing, and then restoring this historical Queen Anne style treasure for the South Brevard area.

Why is saving Green Gables so Important? The acquisition and restoration of Green Gables is not just about preserving an old house from the wrecking ball. It is so much more. Green Gables is the historic home of the Wells family, one of the generous benefactors who played a key role in the development of early Melbourne. Their vision and their generosity gifted the area with Wells Park and the first auditorium, assistance to build the first library, establishing the first high school, and many more things in the community, all of which have been enjoyed by several generations. Learn more in the documentary, Forgotten Enchantress. Visit our website: www.greengables.org

Green Gables is one of only three Queen Anne style homes in South Brevard, so preserving this architecture and restoring the home as well as the Wells family legacy is important. William and Nora Wells played a key role in the development of early Melbourne. Their vision and generosity gifted the area with Wells Park and the first auditorium, assistance with building and establishing the first library, organizing and funding the first high school classes, to name a few, all of which have been enjoyed by several generations.

Even though Green Gables at Historic Riverview Village, Inc. has submitted to be considered for a Florida matching grant to own the home, we must continue to work toward repairing, stabilizing, and then restoring this historical Queen Anne style treasure for the South Brevard area.

We have all been spending more time staying at home and many people used this time to work on landscaping, including tree trimming. This has been a blessing for Titusville artist Ann Welly Revels who collects yard debris and creates tropical treasures. Ann is the August Spotlight Artist at the Downtown Art Gallery, 335 S. Washington Ave , in downtown Titusville. The exhibit of her work may include bits of your palm tree that she has turned into a basket.
Ann has long been fascinated by the tactile feel of fibers and has a keen eye for natural materials in the world around us. Her interest in the environment is reflected in her work. Loom woven wall hangings include branches and grasses as well as yarn. Anns handmade paper incorporates petals, leaves, and spices or is embossed by seed pods. Her palm skin baskets are made from the boot that attaches the palm frond to the trunk on certain tropical palms. Where others see tree trimmings on the side of the road as a pile of trash, Ann sees potential works of art.
Every piece of palm fiber is different depending on the species and the season. Each has a personality. I never know exactly what I will create until I begin to shape it. Once dried, the basket tells me what sort of embellishment, if any, or what plant or animal I should woodburn on the surface. Its such a hands-on process that I really feel I am collaborating with the materials. My goal is to allow others to experience this gift from our tropical paradise.

Her work can be viewed Mondays and Thursday through Saturday 11 am to 3 pm at the Downtown Art Gallery. For more information call 321-268-0122 or check out their Facebook page.
