Keep Up With Cultuvue
EXHIBITS
Cultuvue Photography Exhibition 2026 invites people to slow down and see each other in a deeper, more meaningful way. The theme, “Art Becomes Us,” focuses on real people, real stories, and real connections.
The exhibit features portraits by photographers James Carey, Shank Henry, and Adam Allen that highlight everyday people, their strength, and their life experiences. Each image is meant to show identity, resilience, and the beauty in all kinds of lives. Now in its sixth year, the exhibition continues to grow and spark conversation.
The exhibit will open in stages, starting with smaller shows in New Smyrna Beach and Embry-Riddle, then a full launch in August at the Southeast Museum of Photography with about 80 pieces featuring people from across Central Florida.
There will also be free tours for schools and community groups, plus free art classes for kids ages 6–12.
All exhibit locations are free and open to the public. Overall, Cultuvue 2026 is about bringing people together through art, community, and shared experiences.

EXHIBITION OPENING
Cultuvue Photography Exhibition launch was nothing short of incredible. From the moment the doors opened, the room buzzed with energy, laughter, conversation, and pride. Guests leaned in, connected deeply with the stories on the walls, and our featured individuals stood tall, owning every moment. The gallery stayed lively from start to finish, with a steady flow of smiling faces coming and going.

Jack and Jill 2026 Super Cluster
CULTUVUE POP-UP EXHIBIT
The 2026 Jack and Jill of America Southeastern Region (SER) Children's Super Clusters are major regional gatherings focused on youth leadership and development, themed "The Power in Me Builds the Legacy You See". These events for Pre-K through 6th grade feature engaging workshops for children and mothers on topics such as STEAM, civic impact, and leadership. We want to say a special thank you to the Daytona Beach Area Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. for inviting us to be a part of their Children's Cluster Conference, held at the DSC News-Journal Center. This allowed us to introduce Cultuvue to the youth while exposing them to cultural art.
