"I'm just happy that galleries are continuing to expand their platforms during this time and John Mable has created a really polished site that highlights local artists."
Who is John Mable? A whisper, rumor or symbol? A man of distinction with a taste for fine art? But the question of who, though delightfully abstract, yields a less fruitful conversation than what.
John Mable exists on the internet as a series of zeroes and ones, a portal and a platform for local artists to take their work from their studios and show it to a receptive audience. John Mable is a facilitator, the personification of a consortium of art dealers, handlers and curators, a collective of artists and art buyers with a massive network that extends from Tampa to Naples. And if on the surface John Mable merely sells fine art on an e-commerce website, the manner in which it’s sold might disrupt a business model that has gone unchanged for decades.
That disruption comes in the form of Mable’s delivery and payment methods. By partnering with local handlers, the platform offers free, professional delivery of its one-of-a-kind pieces. If a buyer in Tampa wants art from an artist represented in Naples, a handler in Naples packs and delivers the piece to Tampa, ensuring the piece gets the respect and care it deserves. In terms of payment, the money is held in an escrow account until the buyer gets eyes on the piece and gives final approval. This mitigates any issues arising from minor discrepancies between the actual piece and its digital rendering.
Those stipulations give the platform the ability to achieve its artist-first mission by increasing the reach of not only established artists like Tim Jaeger, but to champion artists on the cusp that might not be found in any local gallery. Savannah Magnolia is one such artist. A recent Ringling College graduate, Magnolia quickly built up steam with her work, winning first place in the VSA Emerging Artist Program from the Kennedy Center in D.C. and exhibiting her work in 2019’s Art Basel Miami. “I was really gaining momentum,” she says, “but Covid halted my progress.” Though she kept her brush wet during the pandemic, commissions dried up. By the time John Mable reached out during this dry spell, Magnolia had amassed a collection of work that further developed her colorful preoccupation with anatomical imagery and her hard-edged, meticulous line work.
“I’m just happy that galleries are continuing to expand their platforms during this time,” she says, “and John Mable has created a really polished site that highlights local artists.” John Mable has opened up the art world for Magnolia and other artists unable to leverage in-person gallery exhibitions. What the platform lacks in the assuredness of an in-person gallery, it hopes to make up for with a heightened sense of community and an artist-centric, digital grassroots mission.
So, who or what is John Mable? A mask behind which a collective of art dealers hide in an effort to highlight the art itself? A website where Southwest Florida art lovers can get their hands on Southwest Florida artists from the comfort of their own home?
The real question is: what difference does it make?

It’s not unusual for Sarasota to at the center of a heated Congressional race. Millions have been spent now in the contest for House District 16, where Republican U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan faces Democratic state Rep. Margaret Good as he seeks an eighth term.
Good through Oct. 14 had spent $2.9 million trying to make the case Buchanan’s time should end. She first came onto the local political scene in 2018, defeating Buchanan’s son James for a House seat.
"The voters of this district are ready for change and that is why we are seeing record turnout and grassroots support from across the district. They want a representative who fights for them,” she said. “In Congress, I will fight to protect Social Security and Medicare. I will work to lower healthcare costs and will fight to protect our water quality. I will treat the pandemic like the public health crisis that it is and will prioritize getting our economy back up and running.”
But Buchanan said he’s been an effective Representative for the region, whether he served in the majority or minority in the House. He spent about $2.8 million making that case to voters through Oct. 14.
“We’re running a positive campaign on our record of bipartisan accomplishments,” Buchanan said. “Twenty-two bills signed into law – under three different presidents – from both parties. There’s a reason I’ve been ranked one of the most effective members of Congress – because I’ll work with anybody if it means getting the job done.”
Good had no problem critiquing the incumbent’s record.
“There is a reason voters support term limits,” she said. “My opponent has been in Washington too long and voters are tired of politicians who say one thing at home and do another in Washington. My opponent voted to strip healthcare coverage from people with pre-existing conditions and gut Medicare. And when the pandemic hit, he cut in line to get $7 million of government money for himself, while local small businesses waited and worried and struggled. The people of this district deserve so much better."
Buchanan in a debate last week certainly had no problem comparing his records to Good’s.
“My job is to go out and fight for our communities on these issues, and that’s what I’m going to continue to do,” he said then. “That’s the issue with Margaret with zero bills and nothing accomplished.”
Good said her own polling shows the race statistically tied; she released a poll to The Hill this month showing her behind 3 percentage points and within the margin of error. But Buchanan has released polling showing his ahead by double digits. FiveThirtyEight gives Buchanan an 89% chance at reelection. Sabato’s Crystal Ball lists four Florida House races including this one, but lists it as a Likely Republican hold.
The Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee held a socially-distanced, outside groundbreaking today to ceremonially begin the renovation and expansion of the Larry & Mary Greenspon Family Campus for Jewish Life outside on the 32-acre campus.
Federation President Randon Carvel said, "This groundbreaking begins a transformational period in the history of the Jewish Federation here in the Sarasota-Mantee area. Due to the generosity of our donors we'll be able to change lives for the better of not only our Jewish community but also non-Jewish residents with our planned outreach." The Federation and Carvel hope the expansion will, "engage people from young to old in a meaningful way for generations to come."
Of the Federation's future plans Carvel elaborated, "we intend to have adult education for the community in addition to a summer day camp that will be open to children of all faiths. This will be a great way for people to learn more about and expierence our new campus."
Larry & Mary Greenspon made the lead gift to name the campus in 2018. Mary Greenspon feels strongly that this new campus will be an important step forward towards "co-embracing Jewish and non-Jewish kids to help foster acceptance." She continues, "It's our honor to do this. We want to help close the generational gap between grandkids and grandparents. Having a place to congregate will help the younger generation embrace their Jewish heritage and culture." Larry added, "This will bring people in and help create a 21st century dynamic Jewish community. This will be a place to grow the Jewish community, where we are inclusive and loving to all."
The Federation, through its JFED PROUD & STRONG campaign, has procured seven more lead gifts from the following donors: Joel & Gail Morganroth, Mitchell and Dawn Epstein, Jonathan and Michelle Mitchell, Karen & Tommy Bernstein, Bob and Esther Heller, Jules and Carol B. Green and a legacy gift by Bea Friedman.
For more information, call 941-371-4546. Pictured: Lead donors and Federation leadership hold shovels marking the beginning of the Federation campus renovation.
The Patterson Foundation provided a $250,000 contribution to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy’s (CDP) Atlantic Hurricane Season Recovery Fund. This gift will strengthen CDP’s support for medium- and long-term recovery efforts in regions affected by a significant amount of activity this hurricane season. “The Patterson Foundation has been a leader in responsive giving in times of disasters,” said Patricia McIlreavy, president and CEO of the Center for Disaster Philanthropy. “We are grateful to The Patterson Foundation for their generous and steadfast commitment to supporting the equitable recovery of communities living in areas hit by this year’s hurricanes and for inviting other donors to do the same. Their support allows us to help communities rebuild and withstand future disasters.”

PSCA provides primary abuse prevention education to children from preschool through high school.
Many parents in Sarasota are looking for resources and support for how to talk with their children about racism and privilege, and how to support the development of values of racial equity and justice. This workshop provides the opportunity for participants to reflect on their own racial attitudes while also learning and practicing ways to discuss racism with their children. Workshop will take place on Tuesday of the following dates from 6:30-7:30pm: November 17th, November 24th, December 1st and December 8th. There will be four 1-hour zoom sessions led by Greg Cruz (founder of non-profit Streets of Paradise) and Kim Doleatto (writer for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune) for ages 7 - 12.

Thanks to the pandemic, the United States plunged from a record-breaking economic expansion to a severe recession. What choices do we need to make to reverse that trend and secure our economic future? William Dudley (’71-’74) is a senior research scholar at Princeton University’s Center for Economic Policy Studies. He served as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from 2009 to 2018 and was also the vice chairman of the Federal Open Market Committee. In 2019, Dudley spoke about our nation’s record-breaking economic expansion. Shortly after, the pandemic cut that short. With breathtaking speed, the United States economy has plunged from its recent heights to the deepest recession in decades. The American economy is sick. What is Dudley’s prescription to bring the patient back to health? What choices must we make to jump-start a recovery? How long will it take to turn things around? Depending on our choices, Dudley will define the best-case and worst-case scenarios.

Syd Solomon (American, 1917-2004) described himself as an “Abstract Impressionist” alluding to the fact that his work infused impressionism into the processes, scale and concepts of Abstract Expressionism. Solomon moved to Sarasota in 1946 with his wife Annie. His was the first work of contemporary art to be collected by The Ringling in 1962. His paintings were greatly influenced by climatic factors and reveal a fascination and concern for Florida’s aquatic environment. Solomon incorporated his experience as a camouflage designer during World War II into his painting. It is not well-known that he was also an accomplished graphic artist, who in his early years designed commercial signage for prominent hotels and businesses in Sarasota. Like his work in camouflage, Solomon’s calligraphic skill was essential to the development of his later gestural abstraction. The exhibition began December 19, 2019 and will end January 24, 2021, during museum hours.
