Local artist iBOMS presents a new exhibition titled "iMAGiNE NATiON" at The Gallery at Creative Pinellas in Largo, Florida, opening on February 20, 2025. The exhibition, curated by Danny Olda, explores imagination as an infinite, uncharted land and the birthplace of spirituality, science, art, and philosophy. The opening includes an artist-led tour from 5:30 to 6:00 PM, followed by a public reception with small bites, music, and cash bars from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. The event is free and open to the public, supported by Creative Pinellas.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the work of a local artist in a community gallery setting, emphasizing the role of imagination in creative and intellectual life. It also underscores the importance of accessible, free public programming in regional arts ecosystems, fostering community engagement with contemporary art outside major metropolitan centers.
