This article chronicles the opening of Marianne Chapel’s artist-run gallery, M. Chapel Projects, and the vision that would later evolve into SPAACES.
Summary: Inspired by three years of international travel and a renewed appreciation for Sarasota’s creative community, Chapel established M. Chapel Projects as a space for experimental contemporary art and innovative artistic voices. The inaugural exhibition, Organic Geometry, introduced audiences to work exploring transformation, process, and abstraction while laying the foundation for Chapel’s long-term commitment to supporting artists and expanding opportunities for contemporary art in Sarasota.
