A show dedicated to exploring those little things that made us so happy when we were kids. We have asked each artist to go back to their childhood and remember the times when candy made their day and share those times with us. Showing in various media; paintings, photography, and sculpture and featuring Jacksonville’s well known local artists Tonsenia Yonn, Matthew Winghart, Gary Mack, Sid Earley, Michelle Hampton, Shayna Raymond, Ken Daga and more. Each artist has been asked to explore themselves and the theme to present unique original works featuring one common theme, Candy.

Opening reception Friday November 30th, 2012 from 6-10pm. A selection of fine wines paired with hors d’oeuvres will be served. Artists will be on hand to discuss works with collectors and admirers.
