Step into the boundless world of iMAGiNE NATiON, a captivating new exhibition by local artist iBOMS, opening February 20th and running through May 10th. Curated by Danny Olda, who also serves as Marketing and Communications Manager for the Woodson African American Museum of Florida, this transformative journey explores imagination as an infinite, uncharted land—a “motherland of all knowledge” and the birthplace of spirituality, science, art, and philosophy.

Often seen as a realm of childhood, iBOMS views imagination as a vital, lifelong force. In this exhibition, he builds a “nation of imagination,” bringing ideas to life through objects and figures crafted with graphite, spray paint, resin casting, digital design, and even elements from nature.
This exhibition is free and open to the public during gallery hours: Wed-Sun 10am-5pm

“Bad Jews” by Joshua Harmon
Presented by Sarasota Jewish Theatre at The Sarasota Players, 3501 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34239
Preview: April 30, 7:30 p.m.

Joshua Harmon’s “Bad Jews,” directed by Gus Kaikkonen, is a roller coaster ride of laugh-out-loud humor and childish rivalry as three adult grandchildren spar over an heirloom their grandfather carried hidden throughout the Holocaust. Daphna (Josephine Phoenix), a “Super Jew,” believes the gold “chai” is rightfully hers. Her cousin, the secular Liam (Michael Raver), wants it for his gentile girlfriend (Noa Friedman). Stuck in the middle is Liam's brother, the gentle Jonah (David Sommer). They battle about religious faith, cultural assimilation, and the validity of their Jewish identity in 21st century America. Single tickets are $30-$42. For more information about Sarasota Jewish Theatre, visit SarasotaJewishTheatre.org.
