Tides of Transformation: Water, Memory, and the Shaping of Jacksonville 
Tuesday, January 13
6:30 to 8 p.m.
Members $25, Future Members $40
Registration Required

Experience an evening of powerful storytelling and reflection inspired by Calida Rawles: Away with the Tides. With artist Calida Rawles joining local artists, historians, and community leaders, you’ll hear firsthand how water carries memory, emotion, and history and how those themes shape both Rawles’ artwork and our community’s stories.

The panel will explore Jacksonville’s layered history, drawing parallels between local narratives and Miami’s displaced Overtown community featured in the exhibition. You’ll learn about places like the once-thriving Sugar Hill neighborhood in Jacksonville, disrupted by the construction of I-95 in the 1950s and 1960s, and consider how water, land, and infrastructure continue to shape the social and environmental fabric of our city. This conversation invites you to reflect on how Black communities are reclaiming their stories to heal, rebuild, and thrive.

Panelists:

      Calida Rawles, Artist
Dr. Alan Bliss, CEO, Jacksonville History Center
Kandice Clark, Placemaking Manager, Riverside Avondale Preservation
Ennis Davis, Public Historian, Author, and Urban Planner
Erin Kendrick, Director of Education, Jacksonville Arts & Music School (JAMS)
Gloria McNair, Manager of Community Engagement & Equity Initiatives, Groundwork Jacksonville

Presented in partnership with the St. Johns Riverkeeper’s Resilient Ribault project, this program reflects the Museum’s commitment to connect arts and gardens to contemporary issues and celebrating the power of community, made possible with generous support from Lauren and Ted Baker.

Artist Talk with Patrick Maxcy: Murals, Water, and Place

Tuesday, February 3, 2026 

6:30 to 7:30 p.m.  

Free | Registration required

Join mural artist Patrick Maxcy for an evening exploring how public art reflects place, sparks conversation, and strengthens community connection. Presented in partnership with Riverside Avondale Preservation (RAP), this talk highlights Maxcy’s recent mural beneath the Fuller Warren Bridge – just next door to the Cummer Museum and where Riverside Arts Market (RAM) takes place – and his mural work across the country. 

Through images and conversation, Maxcy will share how the St. Johns River and its wildlife inspired the mural’s imagery, and how storytelling and conservation are central to his practice. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how murals connect art, environment, and the cultural vibrancy of a community.
