HAZARD, The allure of Uncertainty and Risk
Artist Reception, Saturday Jan 17, 2026 5-7PM
Exhibition runs through March 13, 2026
Hazard celebrates artists exploring the idea of risk in all its forms, from the physical to the emotional, from the environmental to the everyday. A “hazard” can signal danger, but it can also mean chance, luck, or the simple act of venturing into the unknown.
This exhibition considers the many ways we live alongside uncertainty. Some works may reference the symbols and language of warning: the bright diamond signs, blinking lights, or protective gear of an industrial world. Others might speak to quieter forms of vulnerability, the fragility of nature, the passage of time, or the unpredictability of the creative process itself.
Whether through material, form, or concept, we reflect on what it means to face risk, to engage with the world’s volatility, and to find beauty and humor in the act of taking chances.
This Exhibition is a collaboration with the Florida Sculptors Guild.
Their mission is to enrich, include and educate our community about the sculptural arts. We provide emerging and established sculptors the space, education, exposure, and the connections they need for creative and professional advancement.
Florida Sculptors Guild was established in 2007.
It is our long-term vision to be the eminent sculpture resource of Florida, connecting the private sector with our members. From builders and developers searching for large sculptures to people who want a sculpture for their home and office, to corporations that require the type of art-related services that many Guild members provide. It’s an ambitious vision and we are well on our way.
The Guild meets once per month, often (but not always) at the Art House in Casselberry, Florida to formulate our plans, exchange information and network with other sculptors. Occasionally, meetings include speakers and demonstrations. We also hold workshops and at least one group shows per year. Because we are a relatively small organization, our events and shows are currently held in the Orlando metro area. At this time, most of our members are based here.
Florida Sculptors Guild is a professional organization with 501(c)3 status and is run by volunteers
