Visit the Appleton on October 5 for Free First Saturday!

It's also the last weekend to see the special exhibition, “En Pointe: Expressions of Dance in Art,” featuring over 60 works from the permanent collection that tell the story of dance as a powerful and multifaceted form of expression.
At 11 a.m., the Appleton welcomes back Dr. Jose Gaudier, who will give a free talk in the auditorium. Beginning in the Prehistoric Period, the Ocala neurologist and art enthusiast will present on the evolution of art in Spain. This talk is free and no reservation is needed to attend.
From 1-3 p.m., local talent from Devotions Dance Company will give short performances in the auditorium. Performances are free and no reservations are needed to attend.
