“The Arts Council of Martin County is excited to be hosting this fantastic celebration of All-Florida Art in the Court House Cultural Center. The works have been personally selected by our juror Josh Davis to create a show that reflects the finest in Florida Art,” noted Nancy K Turrell, executive director.
“Inside 52GA-R” is a bit of a departure from the rest of Mastrangelo’s sculpture relief pieces, because is presents a look at the underside of a manhole cover: an underground view. “Inside 52GA-R” was a prize winner at Orlando Museum of Art’s 1st Thursdays and exhibited with “The Best of The Best” at The Mayor’s Gallery at City Hall in Orlando Florida in 2014.
Bobbi is pleased to have this special piece selected for this prestigious exhibit.
Wall Grouping: Bobbi’s Art, Thalia Sizemore, Below: Mia Lindberg and Gary Gresko.
Joshua Hunter Davis, juror for the show, is an artist from South Florida whose subjects range from industrial sites to machine animal hybrids. Though Davis did not grow up in Detroit or Newark or any other major city of industry, his preference for all things industrial and mechanical was the inevitable result of growing up in the family business of water and sewer plant operation.
Mastrangelo’s Art of sewer covers and water covers relates to the Davis family business. Joshua Davis Hunter currently works as an adjunct instructor in South Florida and exhibits work throughout the area.
Art Reception: Fri. Sept. 25, 2015 from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.,
The exhibition runs from September 25 – November 14.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday – Friday,
Saturday 11 am – 2 pm.
Court House Cultural Center Gallery,

Dear Ellen,
52GA-R is an embossed number stamped on the back of the foam piece. It makes it sound scientific, like the way some of the Galaxies are numbered.
Regards,
Bobbi

Congratulations, Bobbi! You are so very talented–what a genius of an idea to look at your grate from below! Wonderful.
Your Very Proud Cousin,

Dear Bobbi,
I thought of you the other day. I was dusting my paintings. The small one with the mushrooms has been in my living room all these years.
I went to The Court House today to check out your art piece.
It is very creative, Love it!
Take Care,
Love,
Dottie King from Stuart Florida
Bobbi, We met you the 19th of November 2007 in Firenze Italy where we were all together each evening for remarkable dinners at the La Ferriera Resort where the big water wheel was. My husband Joe and I and our son Dan and his wife Tiff enjoyed conversation with you and your wonderful husband. We loved all your work and wonderful stories of where your art has taken you.
You said to me,” I will give you my postcard, but I have to say as many of these as I give I never hear back”! I promised I would. Of course returning home I couldn’t find the card and kept waiting for it to turn up. Well, it did. I found it last night cleaning out a bookshelf in my office.
I looked you up on your website and was overwhelmed at all your awards and accomplishments. A wonderful big Hug and Hello to you, from San Diego California. From Joe, Dora, Dan and Tiffany. We send our love. And please, how is your husband, Al?
