You are here. Exploring the Florida Wildlife Corridor will showcase iconic landscapes of the Corridor, from the Everglades up through working lands, wildlife underpasses, and into Florida’s gorgeous springs and forests. The exhibit will feature stunning landscape and wildlife photography under the categories: wetlands, working lands, wildlife crossings, and waterways. Visitors will be greeted by a large-scale map of the Corridor to ensure their working knowledge of the geography as well as the unique ecosystems and species it supports. The location of each artist’s work will be identified on the map and in the work’s description as visitors journey through the exhibit, can explore the online interactive map full of Corridor story maps and related short films. 

The exhibit is being curated by Noel Marie Smith, a visual arts curator and arts administrator with three decades of experience working with artists, curators, and arts institutions locally, nationally and internationally. At the USF Institute for Research in Art: Graphicstudio | Contemporary Art Museum, she served as Deputy Director of the Contemporary Art Museum, where she curated a number of exhibitions, including Constant Storm: Art from Puerto Rico and the Diaspora, Los Carpinteros: Inventing the World, and Histórias/Histories: Contemporary Art from Brazil. Smith has experience with artist collaborations, educational programming, and grant writing, and is a published translator of literary and critical texts from Spanish to English. She is a third generation Florida native.
