and businesses featuring original art, open their doors.
Cleanse Apothecary and Urban Bungalow
September's featured artist is Emily McNiel Levy
6 to 9 p.m.
Join Cleanse Apothecary & Urban Bungalow for "Flock to the Block Party" featuring Avain Portraitures by Emily McNiel Levy. A life-long resident of the Tampa Bay area, avid kayaker and animal lover, Emily McNiel Levy says that birds, in particular, hold a great fascination for her and serve as the inspiration for most of her artistic work. McNiel Levy holds a degree in Fine Art and Art Education from Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama. Emily says that art is an integral part of her everyday life. “As an artist, I have my unique perspective of the world around me and I would like to show you what I see and how I see it.” “Emily tries to get the realism and beauty in natural settings, and she certainly succeeds. She shows the natural character, beautifully, of whatever bird that she is portraying. Her paintings are interpretations of nature’s hidden meaning behind the lives and culture of birds.” - Tim Gibbons, Artist

September's featured artist Lambertus “Berry” van Boekel and Christina Humphreys
6 to 9 p.m.
Top 100 (Remixed)
For more than twenty-five years now, artist Lambertus “Berry” van Boekel has been marking time and keeping the beat with his annual (admittedly obsessive) Top 100 painting project. Representing subjects as wide-ranging as his impressively deep and eclectic musical tastes, the Dutch-born, Fort Myers, Florida-based painter notes: “The Top 100 started as a hobby in the 1980’s; an adoring fan paying tribute by making portraits of his musical heroes.” Creating Top 10 song lists every three to four days since February of 1983 and compiling them into his Top 100 playlist at year’s-end, van Boekel began selectively illustrating his lists by 1986 and rigorously formalized the process five years later - making a drawing or painting inspired by each of those one hundred songs. In 1993, the artist moved from the Netherlands to the United States to complete his MFA at The Ohio State University. Van Boekel has since exhibited at Skylab in Columbus; Reed Gallery at the University of Cincinnati; Peel Gallery in Houston; Galerie De Bank in the Netherlands; at the NADA Art Fair in Miami; with Country Club Projects in Cincinnati; and on multiple occasions with White Columns in New York. Van Boekel also currently serves as an adjunct professor at Florida Southwestern State College.
Located in the Project Space: Tempus Projects Artist Residency Program, a non-profit exhibition space located in Seminole Heights, is pleased to host artist Christina Humphreys in its Cuban artist exchange. This is the second in a series of artist exchanges between Tempus and the San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts in Havana, Cuba.
