“While many Central Florida art groups formed and sizzled out, I am proud to say the Hidden Artists are strong with their 7th exhibition at the library,” said Judy Bragg Pardo, founder and coordinator of Hidden Artists. β€œThe exhibition showcases the talents of ΒιΆΉΣ³»­΄«Γ½ faculty and staff sharing their creativity with the community.
