Immensities: Studio Conversation with Katrina Bello, Artist-in-Residence
2019-04-10 18:30 - 20:00 | Art & History Museums – Maitland, 231 W. Packwood Avenue, Maitland, FL, 32751, United States
A&H is pleased to welcome artist Katrina Bello as our second Artist-in-Residence of 2019. Meet Katrina and hear about her inspiration and process. This event is free and open to the public.

From the artist:
A vast wilderness is a source of wonder and beauty. Deserts, marshes, oceans, forests, mountain ranges, glaciers – some of the feelings evoked by these landscapes are solitude and mystery. Their breadth and seeming emptiness speak to us of otherness, our dreams, our fears and what is beyond our control. They are also fragile and undergoing dramatic changes. “Immensities” will be an artist talk about my drawing practice and how it is informed by personal and research narratives that tell a story of the beauty, fragility and necessity of these wildernesses. Some of the narratives that the talk will cover are my experience of migration, the choice of drawing as my primary medium, and the artists who have influenced my art practice.

The Maitland Art Center’s spring exhibition proudly features both an insider’s and outsider’s perspective of the African-American community in Maitland and Eatonville during the 20th century. The outsider is the Maitland Art Center’s own founder, J. André Smith, and the insider perspective is brought by local artist Jane Turner, who still lives and works in Eatonville and Maitland. Meet Ms. Turner and hear how her personal history intertwines with local history – and how her artwork is influenced by both.

History Lecture - Maitland's African American History: Marked, Unmarked, Remembered
2019-02-20 18:30 - 19:30 | Art & History Museums – Maitland, 231 W. Packwood Avenue, Maitland, FL, 32751, United States
Dr. Scot French
In the lecture, Dr. Scot French, guest curator of the Maitland History Museum’s Spring 2019 exhibition, will discuss his efforts to document Maitland’s African American History — from the arrival of homesteaders and grove workers in the mid-1870s through the Jim Crow Era of exclusion, marginalization, and erasure to the desegregated civic and commemorative landscapes of today. While African American residents played a critical role in the founding of Maitland, much of their history extends beyond city limits into the neighboring black communities of Eatonville, Hannibal Square, and Woodbridge. French will “reintegrate” that social history into Maitland’s civic narrative and suggest ways that we — like Zora Neale Hurston and André Smith in the 1930s and ’40s — can draw insight and inspiration from it.

Maitland and African American Experiences
2019-01-24 11:00 - 2019-05-12 16:00 | Art & History Museums – Maitland, 231 W. Packwood Avenue, Maitland, FL, 32751, United States
J. André Smith, Churchgoers, Eatonville, oil on Masonite, ca. 1940, 35 ¼ x 29 ¼, Collection of Art & History Museums–Maitland, CM72.02.09
The Art & History Museums–Maitland opens two exhibitions highlighting resident African American experiences and the intertwined histories of Maitland and Eatonville: Maitland and African American Experiences Then & Now: J. André Smith and Jane Turner at the Maitland Art Center, and Maitland and African American Experiences: Marked, Unmarked, Remembered at the Maitland Historical Museum.
J. André Smith and Jane Turner features oil paintings, watercolors, and drawings by J. André Smith and two “Bok Fellows,” Carlson Davenport and H. H. Shaw, along with acrylic paintings and sculptural works by the self-taught artist, Jane Turner, residing and working in both Maitland and Eatonville. While the works created by Smith and his contemporaries portray images of African Americans from the point of view of outsiders, Turner’s portraits and works inspired by historical events and figures counter them by offering glimpses of her rich, multifaceted experience as a community member.
African Americans have lived and worked in Maitland and its neighboring communities for nearly 150 years, yet this historic black presence is rarely acknowledged in the city’s pictorial displays, roadside markers, and civic narratives. Researched and curated by University of Central Florida historian Scot French, Marked, Unmarked, Remembered addresses that omission by examining the hidden history, culture, and experiences of African Americans across the decades—from their first arrival in Lake Maitland as pioneer homesteaders and grove workers in the 1870s, through the Jim Crow Era of segregation, exclusion and erasure, to the desegregated (yet not fully integrated) civic and commemorative landscapes of today.
Visit the Plan Your Visit page for hours & pricing. Admission includes entry to Maitland Art Center, Maitland Historical Museum and the Telephone Museum.
