The View From Within: Opening Remarks

Originally filmed on Friday, April 26, 2024. Opening remarks by the Chief Curator and Executive Director of the Art & History Museums of Maitland, followed by words from Casey Curry of The Links, Inc. and featured gallery artist Shannon Elyse Curry.
When one speaks of a view, they are speaking about a unique vantage point or perspective. The View from Within provided a rare opportunity to do just that, enabling the viewer to look within the lives of two emerging artists, Trinidadian artist Nneka Jones and African American artist Shannon Elyse, into the fullness of their thoughts, motivations, and meditations on their artistic practice.
This exhibition was a unique partnership between A&H and The Links Incorporated, an international service organization established in 1946 that consists of more than 17,000 professional women of African descent. Both the artists and the works for this engaging exhibition were selected by members of The Tampa (FL) Chapter of The Links Incorporated.
