We want art lovers to come visit us on
Saturday, April 20 for Dade City Art Walk


We’re delighted to have Zephyrhills artist Diane Keske Talmadge as our guest during the Dade City Art Walk on Saturday, April 20, 2024.

 In this short conversation with her, Michael Slicker learns a bit about Diane’s formative years, her inspiration, and the range of artwork she produces. Dade City Art Walk was created by the Dade City Center for the Arts in 2022. 

We’re enthralled with Diane’s artwork, including portraits, still lifes and miniatures. Our 2024 Dade City Art Walk runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. We’re planning to have light refreshments available. 

We hope you’ll visit and spend some time with artist Diane Keske Talmadge. 

Some other participating locations may start earlier. Please check with Dade City Center for the Arts for details.

Florida Antiquarian Book Fair

Michael Slicker was the founding president of the Florida Antiquarian Booksellers Association and has served as chairman of its annual Florida Antiquarian Book Fair since its inception.

The 39th annual book fair was set for April 24-26, 2020 at The Coliseum in St. Petersburg. Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic intervened so the book fair had to be postponed. It will be rescheduled at a later time.

The fair is the oldest and largest antiquarian book fair in the Southeast. Learn more about the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair and the Florida Antiquarian Booksellers Association.
