View ‘non-objective’ art
at July 16 reception
Celebrate art at a reception
Saturday, July 16, from 3 to 5
p.m., at the Gallery Above the
Silver Lining Boutique, 2217
Highway 101, with featured
artist Robert E. Hefty. The
public is invited, and refresh-
ments will be available.
Hefty’s “non-objective” art-
work is colorful and visually
stimulating, but “Beauty is in
the eye of the beholder,” he
says. This type of art is basi-
cally decorative but may
encourage creative interpreta-
tions in the mind of those who
view them.
More than 150 paintings are
included in this show, which

runs until July 30.
Some free paintings will be
available on a first-come, first-
served basis. Others are
marked “MAO,” or Make An
Offer. Only reasonable offers
will be accepted.

SEAcoast announces 2016-17 lineup
“Since its beginning 36
years ago, SEA has brought top
quality performers to Florence
audiences,” said Linda Gargis,
SEA board vice-president.
“This upcoming season contin-
ues that tradition. We have
seven fantastic shows, includ-
ing midweek concerts, plus a
new ‘Dinner and a Show’ pack-
age available for season ticket
holders.”
In the new season, four of
SEA's concerts will be held on
Wednesday nights with a nod
to the increased weekend
demands in the Florence com-
munity.
“SEA is a big supporter of
the Florence Events Center,”
said Gargis. “By scheduling
Wednesday shows, we are not
only helping keep the FEC
active midweek, we were able
to book several acts that would
have been unavailable on
weekends due to scheduling,
travel issues and cost.”

satility and wit to the FEC
stage. The three tremendously
musical, classically trained
players (piano, cello, and vio-
lin) will bring all a fresh appre-
ciation for the standard concert
repertoire (think “Beethoven
meets The Pink Panther”)
while entertaining the audience
with humor and spontaneity.
Celebrate Mardi Gras a cou-
ple of days early with “Bria
Skonberg's New Orleans Jazz
Band” during a Sunday after-
noon tea dance Feb. 26, 2017,
at 4 p.m. Bria is a specialist in
classic American hot jazz. She
leads her band, wails on the
trumpet, and beautifully vocal-
izes jazz standards with energy
and pizzazz.
SEA is providing Florence
fans of brass with a much-
needed dose of energy with the
Dallas Brass on Wednesday,
March 29, 2017, at 7 p.m. The
quintet masters all aspects of
the brass repertoire: classical,
Dixieland, swing, show tunes
and more as they provide a
musical travelogue through
American instrumental history.
On Wednesday, April 26,
2017, at 7 p.m., SEA presents
“Barrage 8,” a high-energy
dose of modern string instru-
ments and movement. Their
innovative stage performance
blends wonderfully with their
musical talent - and strings like
you have never heard them
before.
On Wednesday, May 24,
2017, at 7 p.m., it will be an
incomparable night for key-
board fans: dueling pianos
when “The Piano Caméléons”
will ring out the SEA season on
two grand pianos, expertly
manned by a pair of virtuoso
pianists. They revisit great
classic pieces with interpreta-
tions touched by traditional
jazz, world beat and other
influences.
It will be a spectacle for the
eyes, ears and soul.
Ticket packages for new sea-
son-ticket holders are on sale
through July 31, with single
ticket sales available Aug. 1 at
9 a.m. Tickets can be pur-
chased at the Florence Events
