What We See In The Shadows Exhibit
Be sure to stop in the St. Augustine Art Association to view this new exhibit. It is entirely in the dark … with the exception of flashlights and wayfinders!
We’re used to seeing artwork well-lit and beautifully displayed on the wall. So, what happens when you’re forced to look at it bit by bit? The overall image and perspective changes. Or … maybe you see something you wouldn’t have noticed with full lighting.
For the artists, it’s a challenge to create a cohesive image that will be viewed in fragments.
In-gallery and Online — July 17 – August 31, 2025
Exhibit open during First Friday Art Walk from 5:00pm-8:00pm — August 1, 2025.
Gallery Hours: Tuesdays through Sundays, 12:00pm-4:00pm
Free Admission.

Join us at Limelight Theatre for the performance of The Accidental Goddess. Experience Indian Classical Dance like never before in this powerful evening of movement, mythology, and meaning!

When: Saturday, August 23, 2025 — 6:00pm
Rooted in age-old traditions, this performance shines a light on the struggles faced by women shaped by societal expectations and power dynamics. At the heart of the story is Renuka, a princess whose transformation into the goddess Yellamma unfolds through evocative choreography and emotion-rich expression.
Through dance, Archana unpacks the complex dichotomies of strength and vulnerability, silence and voice, and oppression and divinity – revealing how resilience and identity can emerge even in the face of systemic silence.
