Claire Van Vliet is a MacArthur Fellow, master printmaker, graphic artist, bookmaker, papermaker, and the founder of Janus Press (1955). Known for experimenting with innovative formats and unique binding structures, Van Vliet is widely recognized for her innovations in hand papermaking and her imaginative artist’s books.

Beloved: A Tribute to Andy Owen

August 2025 – December 2025

Arts Complex Lobby and Wilson G. Bradshaw Library, 3^rd Floor, behind University Archives & Special Collections

We are profoundly saddened by the passing of FGCU Professor of Art Andy Owen in June 2025. An internationally recognized printmaker and gifted teacher, Andy enriched the art program, the arts community, and our permanent collection with his creative vision and generosity.

This exhibition honors his legacy through selected works that reflect his technical mastery, adventurous spirit, and dedication to his art and to his students. Andy’s humor, warmth, and talent will be deeply missed.

Crumbs is a window installation that offers a glimpse into Girl Feast (Wasmer Art Gallery, October 17 – November 20, 2025), serving as both a preview of the exhibition and as part of the Window Strike Prevention Project. Inspired by the idea of leaving small crumbs of something larger, Chloe Lewis ('18, Art) and Isabella Baquerizo (’19, Art) honor native bird species while taking a vital step in protecting them from window collisions. Through vinyl prints applied to the glass, this installation not only prevents birds from flying into the windows but also transforms the windows into a visual extension of the exhibition’s themes—abundance, connection, and care. A testament to the power of collaboration, Crumbs reflects the beauty of shared efforts in creating a safer, more mindful environment for both the campus community and the birds that inhabit it.

Crumbs is part of an ongoing exploration of creative solutions for bird-safe windows on FGCU’s campus.

Making A Clear Mark: 1997 to 2025 is a selected survey of paintings by Morgan T. Paine, founding Art Program faculty member and Associate Professor of Art at Florida Gulf Coast University. Featuring his Life Painting with Drawing (1977 to date), the exhibition also includes examples of both his layered and spanned works of acrylic gel medium on a variety of supports, found and constructed. Paine's work is grounded in the belief that painting is both a physical and conceptual activity. His life-long effort is to get to the essence of painting, using the foundational element of all acrylic paint, a nearly colorless binder called gel acrylic medium.

Opening Reception with the Artists, Thursday, October 16, 2025, 5:00-7:00 p.m.

Chloe Lewis ('18, Art) and Isabella Baquerizo (’19, Art) present Girl Feast as a celebration of friendship, joy, and the experience of girlhood. Through an abundance mindset, sharing, and play this exhibition creates a space where connection and belonging are central to everyday life. The works explore inner worlds and shared experiences, reflecting on how communal moments—especially around food and play—bring people together. The artists encourage us to romanticize the ordinary, and to see the world with an open heart. 

Through immersive installations and vibrant artworks, Girl Feast offers a lens into a worldview where joy and togetherness create a sense of wholeness. Girl Feast invites visitors to take a seat at the table, reflect on connection, and engage with the idea that community is built through the smallest, most meaningful exchanges.

This exhibition is part of the FGCU Art Galleries’ Alumni Series.

Artist’s Talk in U. Tobe Hall followed by reception in the Arts Complex, Thursday, January 16, 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Disparate influences — such as the lights on amusement park rides at the state fair, dotted sidewalk pavers, painted lines in parking lots, thrift store fabrics, cracked pavement, Turkish kilims and ruins, supermarket packaging, miniature golf architecture, and tree bark — are bolstered by ongoing investigations of flatness, dimensionality, color, and pattern within painting and sculpture. Havens creates new forms by culling references from areas lived in, places travelled, and by objects and ephemera collected - so that content might be remembered, discovered, and felt.

The hybrid nature of her expanding practice evolves in cycles, as she exhausts possibilities for pushing boundaries within media. Havens challenges and redefines notions of boundaries within painting and sculpture, driven by contradiction and the challenge of engaging with complex ideas. See more of her work at suehavensstudio.com.

Kirsten Chambers is a fearless performer of Strauss and Wagner operatic heroines. She will present a diverse program featuring operatic arias by Mozart, Puccini, and Wagner, alongside Verdi oratorio, soaring Strauss art song, and beloved musical theater classics. Kirsten is most known for her portrayal of the title role of Salome, which she has sung at the Metropolitan Opera, Opera Hong Kong, Florida Grand Opera, and later this year San Diego Opera. She first joined the roster of the Metropolitan Opera as a cover of Isolde in Tristan und Isolde and later for Die Walküre and Wozzeck. Her European debut was with the Savonlinna Opera Festival as Elsa in Lohengrin, a role she has since performed with Opéra de Rennes and the Hong Kong Arts Festival.

An exciting opportunity to hear two Piano Quintets by Schubert and Hummel. Pianist Michael Baron joins his FGCU colleagues in presenting the much loved “Trout” Quintet of Schubert and the rarely heard Piano Quintet of Johann Nepomuk Hummel. These are the two most famous quintets for the unusual combination of piano, violin, viola, cello, and bass. Hummel’s extreme virtuosity and Schubert’s deeply felt melodies combine to produce a concert of contrasting beauty, depth and excitement.
