Hanging out, drinking delicious coffee, talking about art… ahhhh, that’s the life! Well, that IS the life at least for an hour or so each month at the Dunedin Fine Art Center’s Coffee and Conversation series. Enjoy coffee (Presented by the Sterling Society of DFAC) and insights as each month’s invited guest holds forth on their own area of expertise. Admission to these relaxed talks is $5 and is FREE to current DFAC members.

Thursday, February 14th, 2019 at 12 noon, the series hosts artist and curator Catherine Bergmann. Catherine  will share about her secret life as an artist and her 19-year adventure at DFAC–as weekend manager, education assistant, volunteer coordinator, adult education director and curator! This Valentine’s Day presentation is her Love Letter to the creative community she adores—entitled: Strange But True: Tales from the Heart. Rest assured, there will be: secrets revealed, an intriguing soundtrack, magic tricks and if she’s lucky–champagne + chocolate?

Catherine Bergmann is Curatorial Director of the Dunedin Fine Art Center where she has curated over 300 exhibitions in the past 13 years. Hired in 2000, she served as Adult Education Director in addition to Curator during two major expansions. She is also an award-winning artist whose works were featured in the first UnderCurrent/ Overview Exhibition at the Tampa Museum of Art as well as the Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art, the Orlando Museum of Art, Deland Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, the Brevard Museum of Art and the Leepa-Rattner Museum in Tarpon Springs. In 2017, her work was included in 100 Artists/100 Years at the Morean. Her art can be seen in numerous private collections and in the permanent collections of the Polk Museum of Art, Valencia Community College and Pensacola Community College. Today, her work is primarily in sculpture and assemblage. She holds a BFA in Painting and Printmaking from Florida State University.
