Delgado works with the idea of experience – mining visual images for their emotional and spiritual content. Never having a preconceived image in mind, he seeks to portray things that are not obvious in reality, focusing instead on the composition and the balance of the work. This amalgamation of uncertainty and confidence brings his work to life in surprising ways.

The rules of the show are simple – nothing more than 10” in any direction – but the possibilities are endless. Since it began in 2005, Lemonade Stand’s Small Works Show has become one of the most anticipated exhibitions on the island.
Last year, despite a hurricane, a record number of submissions poured in from forty-four states and sixteen countries resulting in nearly two hundred selected works on view, including those of local artists Susan Sugar, Elizabeth Chamberlain, John Martini, Lynne Bentley-Kemp, Jim Racchi and many others. The precedent has been set and with Small Works returning for its second outing at The Studios, this year’s show promises to be the best yet.

With the Grain assembles some of the nation’s most accomplished wood artists in dialog with local artists who are equally invested in the medium’s expressive potential. What is unique about wood as a material for making art, of course, is that it was once a living thing. In their various ways, the artists here all honor that connection, by working in concert with the wood’s specific properties, shaping it, and giving it new life as something that speaks to the viewer. At a time when our natural environment is threatened as never before, the exhibition gives voice to, and hope for, a more harmonious relationship to the world around us.
With the Grain is curated by Helen Harrison, a wood artist and owner of Harrison Gallery in Key West, with Assistant Curator Fran Silverman, former Director of the Collection Sharing Program at Harvard’s Peabody Museum.
The Tom Majors Tribute to Wood is a month-long, island-wide celebration of the creative potential of wood. It is coordinated by The Studios of Key West, in partnership with artists and organizations throughout Key West.

Every April since 2011, the O, Miami Poetry Festival has embraced the goal of each and every person in Greater Miami encountering a poem during the month of April. Working with artists and organizations of all kinds, they’ve painted poems on rooftops, made them into tattoos, golf-leafed them into urinals, flown them behind airplanes, and sewn them into clothing tags. How to take the words… is O’ Miami’s first-ever public retrospective, documenting the range and depth of their accomplishment with objects, photos, video and audio.
