The walls in Tallahassee have never been so full of color. A new mural by artist Kollet Hardeman was recently revealed at The Florida People's Advocacy Center in Frenchtown.
Often referred to as the "Mother of the Civil Rights era," Rosa Parks is most well-known for her 1955 refusal to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. This refusal sparked the Montgomery bus boycott, a pivotal event of the Civil Rights Movement.
Although Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat led her to become a popular symbol of the civil rights movement, her action that day on the bus was a natural outgrowth of her life long dedication to activism and civil rights. In fact, Parks was a longtime member of Montgomery National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and when she inspired the bus boycott, Parks had been the secretary of that organization for twelve years. Parks founded the Montgomery NAACP Youth Council and later served as secretary of the Alabama State Conference of the NAACP, where she traveled throughout the state interviewing victims of discrimination and witnesses to lynching's.
Conveniently nestled one block from downtown, the Center encompasses two National Historic Register buildings, a multi-faceted education building and a beautiful outdoor campus featuring the Lind Sculpture Garden.
Powerful images and sound technologies combine with cutting-edge, reserved recliners to transform each show into a completely captivating cinematic event.

“ART IS A CATALYST”
Anderson Brickler Gallery is a space for art in south Tallahassee, Florida. The gallery features fine art editions and works on paper by Modern, Post-War and Contemporary artists with a focus on African diasporan artists. We feature exhibits by master artists of board reputation and also serve as a creative space that promotes the work of local established and emerging artists through a program of exhibits, arts education and research.
Gallery shows a new exhibit each month showcasing contemporary artwork created by students in Florida State University’s Master of Fine Arts Studio Art program
Working Method Contemporary is the dedicated gallery space for Masters of Fine Art Students at Florida State University. The program is composed of approximately thirty graduate students pursuing a terminal degree in Studio Art. The gallery provides students a space for exhibition, experimentation, and documentation of works created while attending Florida State.
We operate as an alternative, non-traditional space dedicated to showing recent works, as well as collaborations, by students currently enrolled in the program. Each First Friday the gallery opens a new exhibition for the public to explore. These exhibitions include painting, sculpture,
photography, ceramics, video works, installations, and performance art. Working Method Contemporary Gallery also offers a platform for the
students to participate in the art world at large. Last year, Working Method showed work from all gallery artists at Fountain Art Fair, which runs concurrently with Art Basel Miami. These two forums for contemporary art are held yearly in greater MIami. Each December, these eventsdraw artists, art galleries, museums, and collectors from all over the globe providing international exposure to all participants.
While the premises is provided to the graduates by the university, Working Method is run by student volunteers, who are responsible for maintenance, publicity, and all other day to day gallery functions. The primary source of support for the gallery comes from donations and fundraising activities initiated by the students themselves. If you are interested in
donating to Working Method Contemporary, please contact FSU
