Paving Roads and Disappearing Orange Groves: Development in Old Florida
2022-07-28 18:30 - 20:00 | Art & History Museums – Maitland, 231 W. Packwood Avenue, Maitland, FL, 32751, United States
As part of the Art & History Museums of Maitland’s continuing lecture series on the history of Florida, Diana Reigelsperger presents “Paving Roads and Disappearing Orange Groves: Memory and Development in Old Florida.” Explore the rapid development of Central Florida from the 20s-60s, with a focus on how highways affected Eatonville and Maitland!
To attend this free lecture, please register here >>
This presentation will address the history of development in Florida during part of the era that J. Andre Smith (founder of the Maitland Art Center, home of A&H) was painting, roughly the 1930s to the 1960s. Between the emergence of the National Highway System in the 1920s and the Interstate Highway System in the 1950s, Central Florida grew in dramatic ways. Growth brought new opportunities for local communities, but also negative effects. A closer look at the social and economic impact of paving roads and building interstates for communities like Maitland and Eatonville reveals the complex history of politics and development in Central Florida. The talk will also reflect on how those changes are represented in popular memory and historical curation.
Diana Reigelsperger is an associate professor of history at Seminole State College. She specializes in the history of Florida and the colonial Southeastern United States. Her research focuses on interethnic relations and trade across the borders of the Spanish and British empires. Her most recent publication is “Networks of Diplomacy and Trade in the Contested Florida Borderlands,” in The Latin Americanist. She received her Ph.D. in Latin American history from the University of Florida in 2013. Currently, she teaches courses on U.S. history, the history of Florida, and the history of Latin America.

The Personal is Still Political: A History of Women’s Art and Activism
2022-09-21 18:30 - 19:30 | Art & History Museums – Maitland, 231 W. Packwood Avenue, Maitland, FL, 32751, United States
Inspired by the gallery at A&H, Dr. Steinhaus will discuss the ways women have blended art and activism throughout the centuries.
This presentation will discuss the history of women in the arts. Centuries of controversy surround their participation, media, subject matter, and messages. Twentieth-century artists especially defied earlier limitations. Women confronted gender and the body in new and radical ways. They also looked at intersecting identities based on race, class, sexuality, and nationality. The presentation will examine how these legacies from the past provide context for the extraordinary exhibition by Jessica Caldas on display in A&H’s Maitland Art Center Gallery.
Dr. Kathryn Steinhaus is a professor of History & Humanities at Seminole State College in Sanford/ Lake Mary. She earned her doctorate in History at McGill University after completing a Master’s degree there and her Bachelor’s at Gonzaga University. Her research focuses on the interaction of gender, politics, and culture. She is dedicated to providing accessible education to students.

Fumecheliga: A History of the First Peoples of Florida
2022-09-23 11:00 - 2023-02-05 16:00 | Art & History Museums – Maitland, 231 W. Packwood Avenue, Maitland, FL, 32751, United States
Fumecheliga: A History of the First Peoples of Florida
September 23, 2022 – February 5, 2023
in the Maitland History Museum
Florida has been home to thriving indigenous populations well before it received statehood in 1845. In September, A&H will examine these important histories in the Maitland History Museum’s exhibition, Fumecheliga: A History of the First Peoples of Florida. Fumecheliga is Muscogee (or Creek), which is one of the languages spoken by the Seminoles, and translates to “muskmelon place”. In this exhibition, guests will experience Florida’s beginnings through the indigenous cultures that inhabited it.
From the indigenous Timucua, who lived among the tropical landscape well before it was known as “La Florida”, to the unconquered Seminole and Miccosukee who endured through the Seminole War era, this exhibition aims to examine the histories of these indigenous peoples and discuss the truths that history hasn’t always acknowledged. The artwork of Black Seminole descendant Johnny Montgomery will also be featured.
This exhibition is co-curated by Seminole State College professor Dr. Neil Vaz and A&H’s Exhibitions Manager Katie Benson. Our thanks to the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum for their guidance and review of exhibition text.

Opening Reception for In Between Exhibition
2022-10-07 18:30 - 21:00 | Art & History Museums – Maitland, 231 W. Packwood Avenue, Maitland, FL, 32751, United States
Be among the first to have an art experience like no other in Central Florida! Meet the artists and celebrate the opening with us Friday, October 7, from 6:30-9:00pm. You can explore the beautifully lit grounds of A&H’s National Historic Landmark campus while you enjoy Latin beats by DJ Nigel John, food by The Gnarly Cuban, and a bar.

This exhibition features the work of three extraordinary painters, Cuban-born Leo Cordovi, Filipino-born MJ Torrecampo, and Syrian American Mär Martinez. The resulting three visual narratives of the post immigration experience all unite to form a picture of modern American identity. Through explorations of memory, resilience, family, and sanctuary, these artists are redefining themselves in a space between seemingly opposing cultural forces. This sense of evolving identity, like the brushstrokes of their paintings, is layered and reworked by time.

Landmark Society-level members also join us for: VIP hour & champagne toast in the gallery with the artists from 5:30-6:30.

TICKETS: Openings are always FREE for A&H members! Tickets are otherwise $10 in advance or $15 at the door.
