Art reception...

Last night, I was privileged to the Spring/Summer Art Exhibit and receptionist Brooksville City Hall. Elaine Carnette gave a presentation on her collection of African art from Nigeria. I must say, Ms. Carnette has an impressive collection.
Poetry readings were given by Rosa Leah Addington, Rosalie Lo Curcio and Piero Braggiotti. A duet poem was read with Mr. Braggiotti giving his version in French, as Ms. Lo Curcio read the piece in English.
The city clerk, Karen Phillips, then introduced each artist. She gave a virtual walk through city hall, listing all the artworks on display for the audience. Each audience member was then invited to stroll the halls and enjoy the refreshments provided by Hernando County Fine Arts Council.
I encourage anyone interested in the arts to visit Brooksville City Hall to casually view the current collection on display. There is something there for everyone from wood carvings, to quilts, to paintings and poetry. We have some really talented individuals in our community. Check it out for yourself!
