About the event

Passionate Journey, featuring painter, Eluster Richardson, is a mixed-media exhibit that explores our local and regional history, nature, family, and sense of community. In honor of Black History Month, artists will reflect on the African American experience and journey in North Florida, as well as the beauty of our natural landscape and wildlife. This call to artists invites local and regional artists, of all visual mediums, to create work that celebrates and explores these local themes. The call is not limited to artists of color, though the committee will carefully review work to make sure it is relevant to the exhibit and Mr. Richardson’s work. A Tallahassee native, Eluster Richardson began painting as a child and has received numerous awards for his paintings, including LeMoyne’s Chain of Parks Art Festival 2022 “Best in Show”. Eluster has exhibited in a variety of museums and galleries. Words frequently used to describe Eluster’s work include “uplifting”, “inspiring”, and “enlightening”. Eluster is fascinated by local history, particularly the people and places of North Florida, inspiring the body of his work.
