Time: 2:00 pm til 5:00 pm
Location: Collier County Museum, Naples
Description: In conjunction with the Viva Florida 500 commemoration in 2013, ArtCalusa was conceived to reflect on how we present Florida's history - indigenous and colonial - and the impact of those representations on our collective understanding of the past. ArtCalusa is a group exhibition featuring Florida's leading historical artists working today, each of whom produces works of art based on scholarly research findings and experimental approaches in archaeology, history and ethnography. There will be a program by Theresa Schober, Archaeologist & Cultural Resource Consultant as an accompaniment. Program and reception begin at 2 p.m. Free admission. Reservations suggested. For more information, please call (239) 252-8738.
The exhibition of original paintings, works on paper and sculpture will be on display at the Collier County Museum from January 5 through March 31, 2015.

LaBelle Heritage Museum presents: Navigating the Big Water
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: LaBelle City Hall, LaBelle, FL
Description: FPAN's Sarah Nohe will be presenting "Navigating the Big Water: The Maritime Archaeology of the Caloosahatchee and Okeechobee Regions"
Pictures of historic steamboats usually contours up thoughts about the mighty Mississippi River or Samuel Clemens’s (Mark Twain) book, Adventures of Tom Sawyer. It may come as a surprise, but steamboats also played a very important role in the early development of Florida. The transportation of goods and people on the frontier peninsula oft times occurred on rivers and lakes. This lecture examines the historic and prehistoric use and manipulation of the Caloosahatchee River and Lake Okeechobee by humans. It also highlights the craft used for travel and fishing over time.
