Community Calendar

This holiday season, give something truly meaningful. The Downtown Art Gallery invites the community to discover “The Art of Giving” on Saturday, November 7, from 10 am to 3 pm, whether it’s a hostess gift or starting your Christmas list early.

The gallery’s 21 talented artists have transformed their creativity into an inspiring collection of original artwork and smaller, giftable treasures. From ornaments, photography, paintings, prints and pottery to jewelry, basketry artistic silk scarves and more, visitors will find thoughtful gifts with a personal touch throughout the gallery’s bright and cheery light-filled showrooms.

Meet the artists, enjoy complimentary coffee, apple cider mimosas and fall treats, and discover the joy of giving something one-of-a-kind.

Celebrating 24 years in downtown Titusville, the Downtown Art Gallery is located at 400 Orange Street. Regular hours are Monday through Friday, 11 am to 5 pm, and Saturdays 11 am to 3 pm.
For more information, visit the gallery on Facebook or Instagram at @TheDowntownArtGallery, or call 321-268-0122.

Now in our 17th year, the Conradina Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society is proud to showcase native plant landscapes in the Indialantic and Melbourne Beach area of Brevard County and at the Barrier Island Sanctuary (https://brevardlandscapetour.org/barrier-island-sanctuary /). Our purpose is to provide education on the numerous native plants in Florida that can thrive without the use of irrigation or fertilizers. We are also partnering with local artists to showcase the beauty and importance of native plants. With over 1,000 people moving to Florida each day, many residents don’t realize the harm done to our wildlife & waterways by the maintenance of non-native and invasive plants.

All tour ticket holders ($15 per ticket) will receive a free native plant and access to our 1st Annual Conservation Fair in Orlando Park [1000 South Ramona Avenue, Indialantic, FL 32903]. The Conservation Fair itself will be free, open to the public and include our sponsors, nonprofit organizations and local artists highlighting the beauty of nature!

COCOA, FL — The Central Brevard Art Association (CBAA), in partnership with the Catherine Schweinsberg Rood Central Library in Cocoa, is presenting an interactive touch art exhibition in support of the library’s Talking Books program and Vision Fair, to be held October 28, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The Talking Books Library provides free audio materials and specialized services for residents with visual or physical disabilities that make reading standard print difficult.
The interactive exhibition, on display October 2026 through January 2027, features artwork created to encourage engagement through both sight and touch, offering a unique experience for visually impaired and sighted visitors alike.
At the center of the exhibition is “Cecelia’s Invitation,” an interactive touch concept created by CBAA artists Jan Bryant, an acrylic and watercolor artist, and Janet Bethay, an abstract/modern acrylic artist.
The inspiration for “Cecelia’s Invitation” grew
from a desire to create a more intimate connection
with art through touch and imagination.
The installation consists of three large
48-by-60-inch abstract canvases that visitors are
invited—and given permission—to explore
through touch.
The exhibit takes its name from Cecelia, the
visually impaired daughter of one of Bethay’s
friends. When Cecelia explored one of Bethay’s
paintings by tracing the movement and texture
created by sweeping brush and broom strokes, she
responded: “WOW, I can feel the ocean.”
Her interpretation was uniquely her own—and
that is exactly the point.
Visitors are intentionally given no instructions for
how to interpret “Cecelia’s Invitation.” Instead,
each person is encouraged to discover the artwork
individually through texture, movement,
imagination and personal experience.
Additional CBAA artists contributing works to the
interactive exhibition include Priscilla
D’Annibale, Judith Mammay, Judith Caruana,
Cassandra Myer, Dawn Kelly, Karen D. Hollister,
and Ashley Cooke.
The exhibition is open to the public at
the Catherine Schweinsberg Rood Central Library
in Cocoa, Florida, October 2026 through January
2027.
