SUMMARY:The Frank Art Gallery in Pembroke Pines presents a conversation with Edison Peñafiel
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 18th from 6 – 8pm join The Frank Art Gallery in Pembroke Pines for an insightful conversation with artist Edison Peñafiel\, learn more about his process and practice. Moderated by The Frank’s Chief Curator\, Sophie Bonet\, this free discussion will explore themes of memory\, migration\, and transitions. Registration is not required; light refreshments will be provided. This Event is Free & Open to The Public | RSVP HERE. All are Welcome! \nGuests can explore Edison Peñafiel’s current exhibition at The Frank\, ‘Me pongo el sol al hombro y el mundo es amarillo‘ (I Carry the Sun on My Shoulder and the World Turns Yellow)\, a large-scale installation on view at The Frank\, January 29th through April 11th\, 2026. \nIn Edison Peñafiel’s Me pongo el sol al hombro y el mundo es amarillo (I Carry the Sun on My Shoulder and the World Turns Yellow)\, the exhibition features a large-scale installation composed of suspended painted curtains that shape the gallery into a space of movement\, pause\, and shifting perspective. As visitors walk through the work\, scenes unfold gradually—figures resting\, departing\, and lingering in moments of transition. Rather than offering a single point of view\, the installation encourages viewers to slow down\, wander\, and experience the work through their own movement. Color\, scale\, and material create a rhythmic environment that invites reflection on presence\, memory\, and the experience of carrying forward. *Made possible with support from the Broward County Cultural Division. \n  \n \nMe pongo el sol al hombro y el mundo es amarillo\, 2026. The Frank in Pembroke Pines.

SUMMARY:NSU Art Museum presents Dr. Rocky Ruggiero Lecture: Imagery and Meaning in Italian Renaissance Painting
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 21st from 3 – 4pm NSU Art Museum presents Dr. Rocky Ruggiero Lecture: Imagery and Meaning in Italian Renaissance Painting. While famous masterpieces such as the “Mona Lisa\,” the “Birth of Venus\,” and the “Sistine Chapel\, Ceiling” draw massive crowds in Italy\, most Italian Renaissance paintings in US museums are passed over for more readable\, recognizable\, and user-friendly 19th and/or 20th-century paintings. Museum-goers today often have a difficult time recognizing the characters\, knowing the theology\, identifying with the morality\, or understanding the function of most Italian Renaissance paintings. Dr. Rocky Ruggiero will “read between the brushstrokes” to explain the meaning behind the imagery of painted masterpieces from the Italian Renaissance. \nAdmission is free for members\, $16 for non-members. Space is limited. Preregistration Required. RSVP HERE. Not a Member yet? Become one Today! Join HERE. \n  \nAbout Dr. Rocky Ruggiero: Rocky Ruggiero has been a professor of Art and Architectural History since 1999. He received his BA from the College of the Holy Cross and a Master of Arts degree from Syracuse University\, where he was awarded a prestigious Florence Fellowship in 1996. He furthered his art historical studies at the University of Exeter\, UK\, where he received a Ph.D. in Art History and Visual Culture. In addition to lecturing for various American universities in Florence\, Italy\, including Syracuse\, Kent State\, Vanderbilt\, and Boston College\, Rocky has starred in various TV documentaries concerning the Italian Renaissance. He recently appeared as an expert witness for NBC News\, as well as in the History Channel’s “Engineering an Empire: Da Vinci’s World” and “Museum Secrets: the Uffizi Gallery”\, and the recent NatGeo/NOVA PBS program on Brunelleschi’s dome entitled “Great Cathedral Mystery.”\nAfter living in Florence\, Italy\, for 20 years\, Rocky and his family moved to East Greenwich\, RI\, and he now divides his time between the US and Italy.\nRocky also shares his knowledge and love of Italian art as an academic advisory board member of the non-profit group Friends of Florence and as a frequent collaborator and lecturer for the Friends of the Uffizi Gallery\, both of which have provided funds for the restoration of numerous works of art throughout Florence. He also lectures and serves as a college liaison for the prestigious Jay Pritzker Academy in Siem Reap\, Cambodia.
