| Florida is so much more than what we see. It’s one of the most incredible pieces of property on the planet Earth. Created out of the collision of continents, it was then torn apart when the Americas were ripped away from Africa. This is a tale of powerful forces and deep time. This is a story of massive earthquakes, volcanoes, and asteroid impacts. This is a chance to discover the real depths of Florida’s very beginnings. Gulfport Arts & Heritage is thrilled to welcome our neighbor, Hermann Trappman. Trappman’s journey began when his family relocated to Florida from Rochester, NY. His fascination with fossils was sparked when he found a mammoth toe bone in a construction site at the age of nine and Indian arrowheads on his elementary school playground. Since then, he has been on a lifelong quest to uncover Florida’s geology, ancient creatures, and indigenous people. His artwork can be found in museums and parks throughout the Southeastern United States, in films, books, and publications. This event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:30pm, and the program begins at 7:00pm. |
