Step into the boundless world of iMAGiNE NATiON, a captivating new exhibition by local artist iBOMS, opening February 20th and running through May 10th. Curated by Danny Olda, who also serves as Marketing and Communications Manager for the Woodson African American Museum of Florida, this transformative journey explores imagination as an infinite, uncharted land—a “motherland of all knowledge” and the birthplace of spirituality, science, art, and philosophy.

Often seen as a realm of childhood, iBOMS views imagination as a vital, lifelong force. In this exhibition, he builds a “nation of imagination,” bringing ideas to life through objects and figures crafted with graphite, spray paint, resin casting, digital design, and even elements from nature.
This exhibition is free and open to the public during gallery hours: Wed-Sun 10am-5pm
