ARTWALK: Take in the local arts scene from 7 to 10 tonight during the monthly Artwalk Gainesville event. The free, self-guided tour through downtown will showcase live performances, visual arts and other activities put on by area businesses. This month’s offerings include a showing of “Yard Works,” a collection of photographs by local artist Edie Schaub, at Bingo Deli & Pub, 619 S. Main St. These photos were taken in and around her yard during a time when she had turned her focus to learning about gardening and honing her photography skills. Each photo is a study of light, composition and botany. Local artist and experience designer Kristin Powers will present “Emotional Exchange” at the Civic Media Center, 433 S. Main St. This collaborative community event invites participants to share emotions, stories and art inspired by the last two years. Participants will have an opportunity to find a piece that resonates with them and take it home. A “creative release” station will be set up for participants to make and leave a piece for someone else. At Black C Art Gallery, attendees can view “A Conjured Journey: Digital Collage by Ani Collier,” where viewers can experience the creative marriage between imagery, imagination and structure. Collier’s digital collage studies, presented on metal canvases, evoke the architecture of the human soul. At the A. Quinn Jones Museum and Cultural Center, journey through time in the company of the greatest blues musicians of the 20th century in “Blues Pioneers and Their Progeny,” a 40-piece folk-art style exhibition featuring work by artist Ty the Portrait Guy. This show pays tribute to the legendary artists who shaped American music and influenced the many sounds in jazz, R&B, gospel, country and soul heard today.

One night, after their Nana has taken his shadow and Wendy has sewn it  back on, Peter Pan and Tinker Bell whisk the children off to Neverland to be part of their adventures. Wendy, John and Michael become friends with the Lost Boys and Princess Tiger Lily, and Wendy becomes everyone’s mother. When the evil Captain Hook captures Wendy and the Lost Boys, Peter Pan comes to their rescue.
