Zerbe Zelebration is a prelude to Chain of Parks Art Festival
Special to the Tallahassee Democrat
The citywide Zerbe Zelebration launches this weekend with a multi-media exhibition of Expressionist Movement artist Karl Zerbe’s works as LeMoyne Arts, 125 N. Gadsden St., marks the 50th anniversary of his retirement from FSU.
The Zelebration will kick-off LeMoyne s Chain of Parks Art Festival for 2021. As a world-renowned artist and FSU professor, Zerbe entrusted LeMoyne Arts with the largest collection of his artwork in the world. The Zelebration runs April 9-18, event times vary, with the Artists in the Park on April 17-18.
LeMoyne Arts will be showing eight never-before-seen pieces for the Zelebration, along with hosting lectures and round table discussions on civil rights, Zerbe’s art journey, and birding. Zerbe is best known in Tallahassee for his collection of bird lithographs, inspired by his time at St. Marks Wildlife Sanctuary.
