GRAND OPENING (Tenative)

FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
Complimentary: Wine, Refreshments and Bites.

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate the official Grand Opening of Arts at The Canopy—a vibrant new destination where art is made, learned, shared, and collected.

Be among the first to experience this dynamic creative campus and gallery as we open our doors to the community with an evening filled with inspiration, conversation, and discovery.

Guests will enjoy complimentary wine and light hors d'oeuvres while exploring beautifully curated gallery spaces, artist studios, and collections from talented local and regional artists. Meet the artists behind the work, hear their stories, and experience firsthand the creative process that transforms imagination into art.

The evening will also serve as the Opening Reception for a special solo exhibition by resident artist Jeffrey A. Moore, featuring the premiere of more than 15 never-before-seen Copper Works. Known for his distinctive repoussé and chasing techniques, natural patinas, and enamel finishes, Moore's work has become highly sought after by collectors throughout Florida and beyond. Guests will have the rare opportunity to meet the artist, learn about his process, and view these new works before they are seen anywhere else.

We are honored to welcome Ocala Mayor Ben Marciano, who will offer remarks during the evening and spend time mingling with guests as we celebrate the continued growth of Ocala's thriving arts community.

Throughout the evening, enjoy live entertainment, engaging artist demonstrations, and an atmosphere designed to inspire creativity, connection, and community. Whether you are a longtime collector, an aspiring artist, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and power of art, this is an event not to be missed.

Experience the Beginning of Something Extraordinary.

Discover a place where artists shine, creativity flourishes, and every visit offers something new to explore.
