Morean Arts Center‘s “Fresh Squeezed” is without a doubt one of the best annual art shows in Tampa Bay.

It wraps later this month and one of the last artist talks of 2025 happens next Thursday with a pair of Florida artists living on almost opposite sides of the Sunshine State.

From Tallahassee, Hannah Keats reinvents marine life as she abstractly brings coral forms out of the ocean and into the gallery. Another fabricator, West Palm Beach’s Ryan Toth, has multiple hypercolor vision of Florida on the Morean walls, but has also shipped over a 10-foot alligator that towers over the center of the gallery.

They team up for a virtual talk about process and more.

There’s no cover for the virtual Morean Arts Center “Fresh Squeezed” artist talk with Ryan Toth and Hannah Keats on Thursday, June 12.
