“Max Weinberg’s Jukebox was one of the most interactive, energetic performances that we’ve ever had at the Lincoln Amphitheater! Max literally leaves the stage to be amongst the crowd—his fans—and lets them pick the set list from a scrolling list of 300+ songs…and they play it…on the spot…spot on! Max is a pro’s pro, as was his entire band—tremendously professional to work with and a great asset to our entire performance series!” -director of the Lincoln Amphitheater

Trained at Meredith College in North Carolina, Ocala artist Meagan Gumpert has created mixed-media sculptures with materials such as ceramic and glass to produce works that explore the interaction between the human urban environment and the organic qualities of nature. Primarily inspired by nature, her wall reliefs and sculptures are held in numerous corporate and private collections, and in the permanent collection of several museums. She served as a Resident Artist at Arrowmont, The Clay Studio of Missoula and Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts.

Gumpert has a degree in Sculpture and Ceramics, but found her way to photography in 2017, focusing on visual storytelling.

Artists' Sidewalk Chalk Tribute to Health Care Workers During Nurses Week 2020
Artists' Sidewalk Chalk Tribute to Health Care Workers During Nurses Week 2020

National Nurses Week is May 6-11, but anyone who has ever needed medical attention knows that every week should be nurses week. Often underusing heroes, health care workers are currently on the front lines of the coronavirus crisis, putting their lives on the line for the rest of us. To illustrate tribute and gratitude, a group of local artists hit the sidewalks at hospitals in Ocala to decorate nurses’ walkways with brightly colored chalk art. The project began when Nurse Leader Marcy Sieradzki at AdventHealth Ocala reached out to photographer Ralph Demilio with the idea to decorate their nurse’s entrance. Demilio realized it should be a city-wide project to spread the joy to as many of Ocala’s health care workers as possible, so he organized four hospitals, 15 artists, two balloon designers and some help from Ocala Parks and Rec and Ocala Mainstreet. The results are beautiful and the benefits didn’t stop with the nurses. The artists all shared how much enjoyment and fulfillment they got from working on the chalk tributes outside on a beautiful spring day. ARTISTS: Justin Aldesek Diane Cahal Helen Demilio Mel Fiorentino Camilla Firefeathers Joshua Jacobs Esta Mann Jessi Miller Annie Miller-Bearden Roxanne Perron Cheryl Ritter Michele Rosenstein-Faulconer Jordon Shapot Richard SchLeicher Kent Weakley Maggie Weakley Jewelz Entertainment and Balloon Design: Julie Duncan and Lydia Sapp PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS: Ocala Regional Medical Center AdventHealth Ocala West Marion Hospital AdventHealth TimbeRidge ER
