It’s already time for our annual Ocala Arts Festival, which will take place again in the downtown area! This is our third year in this location as well as our 49th year to host the Festival. We are thrilled to maintain this tradition and have it back downtown.

Last year was the first year to have the Food trucks at Citizen’s Circle and beer and wine available throughout the venue. This was a great success and will be continued along with the live music that can be enjoyed at Citizen’s Circle. Our 155 juried artists will be on hand to discuss their work and philosophy with you while showcasing their art. The Student Art Tent will have the Marion County students’ art displayed and the Gazebo stage on the downtown square will be the site of student performances. The Stilt Man is back to entertain the crowd along with the Barbershop Quartet meandering through the streets. The Appleton will have hands- on art activities at the former Chamber Lot and the MCA Maze will be located there also for the younger visitors.

We want to thank our community for all of their continued support; none of this would be possible without the generosity of our Presenting Sponsor, CenterState Bank, as well as all of our

other sponsors: College of Central Florida Foundation/Appleton Museum of Art, Downtown Business Alliance, Duke Energy, Gateway Bank, OcalaEye Surgery Center, Ocala Neurosurgical Center, Palm Chevrolet, Radiology Associates, and Regions Bank. We also thank Bank of America for allowing us to locate artists in their parking lot, which is where the first Ocala Arts Festival took place so many years ago. A special thanks again to the City of Ocala and Melissa Townsend, Community Cultural Arts Manager, for the hard work and effort all through the year as preparations are made for this weekend.

Parking will be available in many areas downtown and the handicapped parking will be accessible once again in the Sprint Lot across from Citizen’s Circle on Fort King. The handicapped drop off will be located on Osceola and the north corner of the Bank of America parking lot.

We look forward to seeing you at the 49th Ocala Arts Festival!

After living in Germany for a number of years, James Carter returned to the United States to attend the Maryland Institute of Art where he received his B.F.A. in 1972. Since then he has supported himself as a fine artist which included working with Lublin Graphics, a fine art publisher, who also published a book about Mr. Carter’s work which is still available on Amazon.com.

Living in Southbury since 1993, Mr. Carter has exhibited extensively throughout the United States and Europe in major galleries. His work is also included in many corporate collections.

When asked about his work, Mr. Carter said, “I feel my time living in Europe influenced the character and graphic style of my work. But when I returned to the states, my work took on a different dimension. I adopted a more whimsical yet surreal style. I like to employ the underlying humor of reality vs. fantasy. I delight in juxtaposing unexpected objects. The animate and inanimate appear together. By placing real objects in abstract environments, I can make them dissolve, fade, float or move in any way I desire. Eggs are suspended from wires; objects are stacked tenuously atop one another; birds seem to fade in mid flight.”

The interplay of light and shadows is also important in Mr. Carter’s work. Color is almost secondary and used to add perspective and depth than out of primary concern for color itself. “Through my paintings, I strive to give the viewer a fresh, whimsical view of familiar-and some not so familiar situations,” said Mr. Carter.

The creation of Mr. Carter’s work is achieved by the use of airbrush and traditional brush work. Mr. Carter finds The airbrush to be an amazing tool because it allows an artist to get tones and textures which can’t be achieved with a standard paint brush.

Mr. Carter’s work is created on both canvas and illustration board which is first primed and repeatedly sanded to produce a smooth, tight and realistic subject matter.

In Mr. Carter’s Words: “The creation of my acrylic paintings is achieved by the use of airbrush and traditional brush work. The airbrush is an amazing tool because it allows me to get tones and textures which can’t be achieved with a standard paint brush. My work is done on both canvas and illustration board which is first primed with gesso and repeatedly sanded to produce a smooth, tight and realistic subject matter.

I like to employ the underlying humor of the surreal and delight in juxtaposing unexpected objects. The animate and inanimate interact in my paintings in ways you would never conceive as possible. By placing real objects and animals in abstract environments I can make them dissolve, fade, float or move in any way I desire.

The interplay of light and shadows is also important in my work. Color is almost secondary and used to add perspective and depth than out of primary concern for color itself. Through my paintings, I strive to give the viewer a fresh, whimsical view of familiar-and some not so familiar situations.”
