TOMORROWLAND

Borrowing its name from Walt Disney’s remarks on the occasion of the grand opening of Disneyland, Jacksonville contemporary art gallery Florida Mining’s latest exhibit is TOMORROWLAND, a multimedia exhibition of recent works by Seattle-based artist Debi Boyette and Atlanta’s S Patricia Patterson. The new works will be on view, alongside work by Mark George and Russell Maycumber, during an opening reception — live music and a light-up dancefloor are also planned — held on Saturday from 6:30-9:30 p.m. It’s free to attend.
