Nova Southeastern University’s (NSU) Marine Environmental Education Center (MEEC) at the Carpenter House is dedicated to understanding and protecting one of the ocean’s most beloved creatures – the sea turtle. As part of their mission, MEEC staff interact with visitors year-round educating them about these majestic animals, and part of those efforts include the center’s “forever” resident green sea turtle, Captain.
She calls the MEEC home as she was injured and is unable to be returned to the open ocean. Its Captain who inspired a local artist’s latest gallery exhibit: “Captain is Hollywood” by artist Maria Isabel Lazo.
The exhibit is featured at ArtsPark at Young Circle Gallery, located at 1 N Young Cir, Hollywood and is scheduled from January 23 through March 17, 2019. Because of her love of the ocean and involvement at the MEEC, Lazo has created various artworks that are for sale, with a percentage of the proceeds going to the education center.

NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) is pleased to invite you to “The Theory of Creativity Art and Design Senior Exhibit,” held February 20-March 6, 2019. Each year, students enrolled in ARTS 4995 Senior Project within the Department of Performing and Visual Arts (DPVA) get to craft their own exhibition. As a group they collectively select a name and theme, design promotion materials, and market it. This exhibition serves as an annual opportunity for graduating students to curate a culmination of their work while at NSU in a gallery setting. This exposes their pieces on a public scale, and allows them to openly discuss their artistic intentions to viewers. The exhibit opens on Feb. 20th 2019 and runs through March 6, 2019, in Gallery 217, located on the 2nd floor on the north end of the Don Taft University Center.
The opening reception is on February 20 from 5:00-7:00pm in Gallery 217. Admission is free and open to the public.
