The Islamorada library will hold an opening reception for a new conceptual art solo exhibit titled “Imaginarium” by local artist Marcia Brito, on Tuesday, Sept. 10, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. At 6 p.m., there will be an interactive artist presentation. Light refreshments will be provided. The public is invited.
“Imaginarium” will be on display through Saturday, Nov. 29 at the Islamorada branch of the Monroe County Public Library, located at 81830 Overseas Highway, during library hours.
A pre-Morada Way Art Walk event is scheduled on Thursday, Sept. 19 from 5 to 6 p.m. There will be a meet-and-greet and an exhibit tour with the artist at 5:30 p.m. Patrons are welcome to leave their cars parked at the library lot and walk over to the Morada Way Art Walk.
“Imaginarium” is a series of conceptual artworks that aim to inspire imagination and fun visual play. This exhibit is curated by the artist.
“I am curating my own solo show for the first time,” Brito said. “The opportunity to install my own narrative is exciting, as usually art exhibits have predetermined curators. I have let my imagination run wild and I am sharing visual worlds that appeal to the subconscious; scenes and objects that catch my eyes as stimulating and I transform them further through various processes, with the intention of adding beauty and joy to everyday life.”
Brito is a visual artist and full-time Upper Keys resident. A native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Brito’s career includes a variety of visual and performing arts in the areas of photography, sculpture, painting, ballet and movie and television acting. Brito earned a master of fine arts degree in visual arts from Jacksonville University, and has lived in the Keys since 2021. Her work has been exhibited in Art Basel Miami/Scope Art Miami Beach, the Museum of Science and History (MOSH) in Jacksonville, in Times Square at the Conde Nast building and at the Louvre in Paris.
