Dear Collectors and Gallery Friends,

We are pleased to invite you to an evening of art and connection this Friday at MARA Art Studio + Gallery for the opening reception of Between Us, a duo exhibition featuring Judy and Bruce Robertson.

Through their distinct yet deeply complementary artistic voices, Between Us explores the quiet dialogue between form, memory, texture, and shared experience. The exhibition reveals both the individuality of each artist’s practice and the subtle conversation that unfolds between their works when brought together in a shared space.

This special evening also coincides with Palm Avenue’s First Friday Gallery Walk, with galleries along Palm Avenue open late in celebration of Sarasota’s vibrant arts community. MARA Art Studio + Gallery will remain open until 7:00 PM.

OPENING FRIDAY:

“Across paint, stone, and wood, a shared language unfolds—quiet and responsive. It is shaped through proximity, as each work listens and responds to the other.”

— MARA Torres González

OPENING MAY 12TH:

We would also like to extend a special invitation to our collectors for the opening of Echoes of Yesterday at Art Ovation Hotel.

Featuring artists from our exclusive gallery roster, Echoes of Yesterday explores how memory continues to shape identity, experience, and emotional connection through layered works that reflect nostalgia, fragmentation, place, and personal history. From intimate reflections on beginnings to pieces that invite viewers to project their own memories and emotions, the exhibition reveals how the past quietly remains present in the way we see and feel the world today.

We look forward to welcoming you for these special evenings celebrating contemporary art and community.

Best regards,
