OCTOBER EXHIBITIONS AT THE STUDIOS

Opens Thursday, October 3, 6-8pm
On view October 3-31, 2024

It’s our first exhibition opening of the season and we’re bringing Sunset Celebration to our rooftop! This event features all the elements of a night at Mallory Square, transplanted onto our very own Hugh’s View – jugglers, tarot readers, henna artists, and creative vendors are bringing the party to the roof for one night only.

Organized by Theresa Chiechi on behalf of Sunset Celebration

Cosmic Colors & Costumes

A World of Fashion & Fantasy by Guy Hermelin

Sanger Gallery

Immerse yourself in a dazzling exhibition where fine art meets couture costume design. Experience the vibrant fusion of colorful abstract paintings, fashion illustrations, wearable art, and elaborate costumes. Throughout the month, the artist will be crafting a spectacular 10×10 foot carnival costume in preparation for the Fantasy Fest parade. Return often for a unique behind-the-scenes opportunity to witness its transformation from sketch to finished masterpiece.

Raised in Key West and trained in Los Angeles and Italy, Guy Hermelin merges his fine art background with his award-winning fashion design skills. Guy’s journey from learning acrylic painting with local legend Rick Worth to becoming a prominent figure in the Key West fashion scene is reflected in this multi-media solo show. Join us for an unforgettable spectacle that showcases the talent and vision of a home-grown, award-winning artist.
