The City of Ocala seeks unique, thought-provoking exhibits that are appropriate for a public City space, where work will be viewed by citizens and guests of all ages. Only complete applications will be reviewed. Viewer engagement, artist intent, originality of ideas, and use of media and technique are all considered when an application is being reviewed for approval.
The City of Ocala recommends that artist(s) plan on delivering a minimum of 20 works to be exhibited. The gallery selection for displaying accepted works will be determined by the City based on the works submitted, space available, and needs of each gallery space. The City of Ocala will work with artists on the layout of the exhibit, however the City reserves the right to adjust the layout as appropriate for the space and based on past experience in the gallery space.

Without fail, Christmas every year is always a whirlwind of activity. Personally, we can’t believe there are only 25 days to set up our tree, find the perfect gifts for friends and family, and do all the baking we want to do (this is THE year we’re going to make a gingerbread house from scratch, we swear!). This holiday season, let us help take some of the stress off your plate (and help you load it up with plenty of easy options). With this irresistible list of family-approved classics, we’ve got Christmas dinner covered. Here are our top 80 picks to round out your holiday spread—apps, sides, and entrées included.
We’re pretty obsessed with apps year-round, but we’ve gotta say, our Christmas-themed ones are some of our best. We’ve included a great mix here of cute, like our pigs in a blanket wreath or our pull-apart Christmas tree; fancy, like our bacon wrapped dates or our crab stuffed mushrooms; and classic, like our sausage balls or our cranberry brie bites. They’re perfect for cocktail parties, dinner parties, and every occasion in between. Continue reading
(NAPSI)—While the joy and busyness of the holiday season can take a toll on some people’s mental health, that doesn’t have to be. There are ways to avoid holiday-related challenges.
People may feel stressed, sad or anxious during the holiday season for a variety of reasons. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, extra stress, unrealistic expectations, sentimental memories and other factors during the season may set some people up for temporary bouts of depression or anxiety.
Help Yourself to a More Jolly Season
However, mental health experts say there are things you can do to help avoid holiday-related challenges. Continue reading
(NAPSI)—As we start planning holiday menus this season, many of us are looking for familiar favorites and comfort foods to serve to loved ones. The downside is that many of those foods are high in calories and don’t provide much nutritional benefit. This year, consider amping up the nutritional value of your spread. One quick and easy way to do so is by adding a versatile and healthy classic: Latitude 45 Smoked Salmon. As the number one selling smoked salmon brand in the nation, Latitude 45 is not only a bona fide crowd-pleaser for holiday events, but it also offers your guests a generous helping of health benefits.
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12 and other essential nutrients, salmon can help reduce inflammation and improve heart health. Plus, it’s packed with protein and integrates perfectly with nearly anything you’re serving at your next gathering. Continue reading
(NAPSI)—If the holidays are at your house this year, you may find they can be even more magical when you have a good plan for cleaning up before and after the company comes.
Keep Holiday Hosting A Delight, Not A Chore
As you prepare for the season—and all the celebrating it entails—keep these home cleaning tips in mind…and look forward to stressing less and spending more time with your loved ones.
Treat stains right: Chocolate. Cranberry sauce. Wine. For every food option on the table, there are just as many stains that could arrive with that delicious meal. Using Ensueño Liquid Detergent, which has both stain-fighting power and color-fading protection, can mean a deep clean that ensures clothes and tablecloths come out bright and stain-free.

It’s come to our attention that numerous unaccredited individuals in North Central and Northeast Florida are presenting themselves as licensed officials authorized to assist with VA claims. Visiting folks in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, these fraudsters are taking advantage of veterans and seniors with false information.
Veterans or survivors seeking to file claims with the VA should do so through an accredited representative, including a service agency, claims agent, or attorney recognized by the Department of Veterans Affairs. These individuals are certified by the VA and have the proper training necessary to assist our heroes.
To see a full list of accredited individuals and organizations authorized to assist in the preparation, presentation, and prosecution of VA claims, click here. Please also feel free to reach out to our Gainesville office at (352) 505-0838.

ear Neighbor,
This week was a busy one in Washington, D.C. As we prepare to honor our veterans before Veterans Day this weekend, we focused on several important issues central to our veteran community in North Central Florida.
I sent a letter to Sunshine Health Network Director David Isaacks to inquire about the wait times veterans across our region have been experiencing at VA facilities. We learned that some veterans are often forced to wait 30 days or more to access important care and health appointments. Our heroes deserve the very best and I will always fight to make sure they receive the care they have earned. Continue reading
