Florida East Coast: Selections from the Guidi Collection, an exhibition of works from the Doris and William Guidi Collection. Curated by students of the Gallery Management class, the exhibition will kick off with a walkthrough on Friday, May 4 at 4 P.M. at the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum, followed by an opening reception from 5 P.M. to 8 P.M. as part of the First Friday Art Walk.

Over the years Doris and William have collected an impressive group of paintings, related to their interest in the Florida landscape, specifically in and around St. Augustine, Florida. The Guidi Collection includes over 100 paintings created by Florida artists, from the 19th and 20th centuries, and includes works from Ponce era, The Lost Colony and The Highwaymen artists.

This exhibition was curated and organized by the Gallery Management class under the guidance of Art History Professor, Dr. Chris Balaschak. Each student played an active role in contributing to the production of this exhibition. The students within the class were divided into four groups: Sarah MacDonald and Madi Hetico for marketing; Caroline Davis, Sarah Langston, Cynthia Rountree, Anadaniela Garcia, Laura Baldwin, Tyler Schroeder and Alyssa Nardi for curating; Emily Lemp and John Roberts for design; and Brandon Bates and Alyssa Wilson for educational programming.
