RENDITIONS, AN ART SPACE is pleased to have Orlando artists Scott Ferry and Ammut Aisilinn as our featured artists for November's First Friday.  Their work has been described as haunting and playful.  A mix that we can only say borders on creepy and odd.  They will be showing a limited number of original watercolors, as well as have prints for sale.  This will be a preview of a much larger full scale exhibit planned for Spring 2014 in the Renditions Main Gallery. For more information on their work, go to www.scottferry.com and http://ammutaisilinn.blogspot.ca/

Right On! is featuring Nature photography by Jane Elder from 6-9pm.
 There will be many affordable works
at reduced prices. Perfect Christmas gift art and nature lovers!
