Blanche Ames Gallery

The Visual Arts Committee plans, schedules and executes the rotating art exhibit in the Blanche Ames Gallery located in the UUCF Church. The gallery's name was chosen because Blanche Ames (1878-1969) was an exceptional Unitarian, a leader who serves as an inspiration to us today. With her minutely observed drawings and etchings she illustrated her husband's 7-volume treatise on orchids. Ames' endeavors extended beyond art. She was a feminist, a leader in civic and charitable affairs, an inventor, an engineer, and an author. An extensive biographical sketch can be found by clicking on Blanche Ames.

The Visual Arts Committee plans, schedules and executes the rotating art shows at UUCF. Artists interested in showing their work are required to submit to the office at UUCF a completed application. Please download the Artists Application for the Blanche Ames Gallery
