Artis—Naples is at 5833 Pelican Bay Blvd, Naples, FL. artisnaples.org At the Boca Raton Museum of Art: Art of the Hollywood Backdrop: on exhibit through January 22, 2023. This exhibition of scenic backdrops, made for the movies between 1938 and t 1968, is a celebration of a popular art form that had almost been forgotten; and it is now time to acknowledge the authorship of the painting of Mount Rushmore, Ben- Hur’s Rome, the Von Trapp Family’s Austrian Alps, and Gene Kelly’s Paris street scene. The concept for Art of the Hollywood Backdrop had its genesis with the February 9, 2020, broadcast of a CBS Sunday Morning program with Jane Pauley. This program called attention to the effort to preserve the scenic backdrops that had laid rolled up in the basement of MGM studios. The exhibition celebrates Hollywood’s masters of illusion and perspective, who have received little recognition for their talent or applause for their essential role in making film magic. Boca Raton Museum of Art: Visit the Museum at 501 Plaza Real, Boca Raton, Florida. At The Dali: Running through October 30, <strong>2022</strong>, is ‘the visit,’ by yamandú canosa. The Visit presents the work of Uruguayan-Spanish artist Yamandú Canosa (born 1954). Through the exhibition, Canosa creates a contemplative dialogue between Surrealism and contemporary art. In the words of the artist, “The exhibition is intended as a visit that contemporary art pays to the house of Surrealism. One of the great legacies of the surrealist movement is its aesthetic complexity. This is confirmed by its permanence in today’s art. Surrealism is about an attitude, not aesthetic formulas: it is a way of looking at and relating to experience”. The meditative installation explores Salvador Dalí’s environment in Port Lligat, Spain, where Dalí lived and worked throughout his lifetime. The works relate the viewer to the horizon, while alluding to the Bay of Port Lligat: the beach, the Tramontana wind, Dalí’s house and the island of Sa Farnera. Canosa’s installation also incorporates the Dibujos ciegos (Blind Drawings), a series of performative works on paper created through a drawing process that elaborates on surrealist practices. The exhibit includes new and previous notable works by the artist, including paintings, drawings and photographs, plus a small selection of related Salvador Dalí works from the Museum’s renowned collection. A portion of the Museum’s Hough Gallery will be transformed into a dramatic installation designed by the artist specifically for the Museum.

Dawoud Bey & Carrie Mae Weems: In Dialogue brings together a focused selection of work from a period of over forty years by two of today’s most important and influential photo-based artists. Dawoud Bey and Carrie Mae Weems, both born in 1953, came of age during a period of dramatic change in the American social landscape. Since meeting at the Studio Museum in Harlem in 1977, the two artists have been intellectual colleagues and companions. Over the following five decades, Bey and Weems have explored and addressed similar themes: race, class, representation, and systems of power, creating work that is grounded in specific African American events and realities while simultaneously speaking to universal human conditions. This exhibition, for the first time, brings their work together to shed light on their unique trajectories and modes t of presentation, and their shared consciousness and principles. Sea Turtle Nesting Season is Here Sea turtle nesting season takes place through Oct. 31 on Southwest Florida beaches. Mote Marine coordinates with county, state and federal efforts to conserve sea turtles — particularly loggerheads, since Sarasota County hosts the highest density of loggerhead nests in the Gulf of Mexico. Data show that nesting by loggerhead turtles declined and then rebounded in recent years, while green turtle nesting — although very low in numbers — has increased. On nesting beaches, light from waterfront properties can disorient nesting female turtles and their young, which emerge at night and use dim natural light to find the sea. Also, beach furniture, trash and other obstacles can impede sea turtles and their young. While Mote documents turtle nests, the best thing you can do to help is to refrain from using artificial light while on the beach. t Here are some tips to keep beaches turtle-friendly: • DO stay away from sea turtle nests marked with yellow stakes and tape, and seabird nesting zones that are bounded by ropes. • DO remain quiet and observe from a distance if you encounter a nesting sea turtle or hatchlings. • DO shield or turn off outdoor lights that are visible on the beach from May through October. • DO close drapes after dark and stack beach furniture at the dune line or, ideally, remove it from the beach • DO fill in holes that may entrap hatchlings on their way to the water. • DON’T approach nesting turtles or hatchlings, make noise, or shine lights at turtles. • DON’T use flashlights, head lamps or fishing lamps on the beach. • DON’T encourage a turtle to move while nesting or pick up hatchlings that have emerged and are heading for the water. • DON’T use fireworks on the beach. • DON’T walk dogs on any Sarasota County beach other than Brohard Paw Park in Venice. There, dogs must be leashed or under voice control, according to county ordinances. Report stranded sea turtles and marine mammals. Mote Marine Laboratory’s Stranding Investigations Program responds 24 hours a day seven days a week to reports of sick, injured and dead marine mammals and sea turtles for animals in Sarasota and Manatee County waters. Live animals are brought back to Mote’s Dolphin and Whale Hospital or Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Hospital for treatment and the deceased animals undergo a detailed post-mortem examination so that we may learn more about the natural history of these animals and evaluate long-term trends in mortality. Within Sarasota or Manatee County waters, if you see a stranded or dead dolphin, whale or sea turtle, call Mote’s Stranding Investigations Program, a 24-hour response service, at 888-345-2335. If you see a stranded or dead manatee anywhere in state waters or a stranded or dead dolphin, whale or sea turtle outside of Sarasota or Manatee counties, call the FWC Wildlife Alert hotline at 1-(888) 404-3922.
