If you want a look at what's happening in art now, see the 29th Annual Tallahassee International juried competition at the FSU Museum of Fine Arts. There's work of artists from around the country and a couple from Canada, including video, amorphous sculpture, photography, painting, and more. A few works used fiber. Hurry, because it closes Oct. 5.

I loved seeing the fabric work of Stephanie Rubanowice in the Artists' League Summer Annual Salon, a juried exhibit at the FSU Museum of Fine Arts. Her pieces have life! Show ends July 11.

The exhibit is in the lower gallery. On the ground floor is the Tallahassee Tri-State Watercolor Society show, featuring work by artists from Florida, Alabama and Georgia. My favorite there is by Dean Mitchell. Even though it is large, it is subtle. This show ends July 3.

The museum is relatively quiet this summer, and admission is free.
