SUMMARY:Àṣẹ: Seeing Spirit in Afro-Caribbean Art
DESCRIPTION:Now On Display — Halo Arts Project at John Sims Studio | Sarasota\nFor the first time in Sarasota\, a significant selection of Afro-Caribbean artworks from the Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art will be on view to the public. The PFF Collection brings nearly 30 works by 23 artists to Halo Arts Project at the John Sims Studio in Sarasota\, creating a powerful dialogue between legacy\, identity\, history\, and contemporary expression. \nÀṣẹ (axe / asé / ashé) is a Yoruba concept that exists across the African Diaspora. It has a dual meaning: both a spiritual directive\, understood as “the power to make things happen\,” and a vital life force that flows through all living things. The works in this exhibition embody the spirit of àṣẹ through their depictions of divine figures\, stories of resilience\, and their illustration of the depth of cultural exchange between Caribbean and American artists. It marks a meaningful step forward in expanding the artistic narrative presented in Sarasota and deepening community engagement through access and education. \nFor a limited time\, special gallery hours will be posted\, and the public is invited to experience the exhibition free of charge—an open door to learning\, reflection\, and inspiration. \nThis is more than an exhibition. \nIt is a bridge between communities. \nAn affirmation that art belongs to everyone. \nDoors open to the public February – May 31\, 2026. Check the website for dates and hours at John Sims Studio for viewing the exhibit. \nJohn Sims Studio/Halo Arts Project Gallery1639 Tenth Street\,Sarasota\, Fl.\, 34236 \nWebsite: Haloartsproject.com \nPhone: (941) 313-2294 \ninfo@haloartsproject.com
