“It’s a very exciting time,” says Rolando Chang Barrero, Curator of The Box Gallery. The Box Gallery is located at 811 Belvedere Road, West Palm Beach. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased here. 


Nearby at The Box Gallery, Art Palm Beach kicks off early with two exhibitions starting on January 13, running through February 8. One is a 40-foot mural by artist Marzia Ellero Ransom titled Ars Musae. Ransom, who was born in Italy, earned her first degree in graphic design and photography then received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in studio art from the University of West Florida(UWF). After earning a master’s degree in painting and photography at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, she moved back to Pensacola and is now an instructor at UWF.
The second presentation traces the life and work of the late artist/actor/musician Tomata du Plenty. Born David Xavier Harrigan, (May 28, 1948 – August 21, 2000) du Plenty was an artist who lived in South Florida for part of his career – painted people he admired, from historical figures to entertainers.
The traveling national exhibition is accompanied by panel discussions and video screenings that trace the life and work of the late artist who died in 2000.
