Captiva Civic Association (CCA) opens its 2026-27 art season with “Depth of Field,” an invitation-only exhibition honoring the award-winning artists of the 2026 CCA “Reflections” exhibit by the Sanibel Captiva Art League (SCAL).

The show opens with a public reception on Thursday, Nov. 19, from 5 to 7 p.m. at CCA, 11550 Chapin Lane, Captiva, and remains on view through Dec. 15. Gallery hours are daily from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“Opening the season with this exhibition reflects what CCA is all about: bringing neighbors together around the talent and creativity that make Captiva unique,” said Lisa Riordan, CCA Board President. “We are grateful to our sponsors and to the artists for making it possible, and we look forward to welcoming everyone on Nov. 19.”

The “Depth of Field” theme explores visual perception, focus and space. The title also nods to the range of skill and experience that six artists bring to their work. Nearly 40 original pieces span watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel and mixed media, with subjects drawn from Southwest Florida’s marshes, shorelines, wildlife and light.

Featured artists include: Tamara Culp, Paula Hult, Barbara Nicholson, Joleen Mercedes Raho, John Rizza and Nancy Sperte. All displayed art will be available for purchase throughout the exhibition.

All artwork will be available for purchase, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Captiva Civic Association.

“The artists set the standard at last season’s Reflections show, and we are proud to bring them back to open our season,” said Pam Rosen, CCA Board Member and Art Committee Chair. “We invite the whole community to come see their work and celebrate the artists who make our island so special.”

The 2026-27 Art Show Series is made possible through the generous support from Bank of the Islands and Karen Bell and the Bell Team of Michael Saunders & Company, CCA’s 2026-2027 Season Sponsor.
