--> Old School Square Cornell Art Museum in Delray presents the Opening Reception for Persistence of Matter on Friday, June 5th from 6 – 9pm, an exhibition showcasing artists who transform the forgotten into the unforgettable. Through thoughtful upcycling and environmental awareness, participating artists reimagine discarded materials—revealing their resilience, hidden histories, and potential for renewal. This group exhibition explores the enduring life of materials and the idea that what we discard does not simply disappear. Instead, it remains, shifts form, and waits for imagination. By elevating cast-off objects into compelling works of art, the artists challenge viewers to reconsider consumption, waste, and the environmental impact of everyday materials. Persistence of Matter celebrates the belief that what is discarded still holds value—and through creativity, it can be renewed, repurposed, and given a second life.
Exhibition Dates: June 5 – September 10, 2026
Location: Upper Level Galleries, Cornell Art Museum
Opening Night: Live music, refreshments, and a meet-and-greet with participating artists
Curated by: Mavis Benson and Pam Lambie

--> "Internationally Collected Autistic Artist Vito Bonanno's Artwork in the Corporate Collections of AMAZON and Google." Internationally collected mixed media artist Vito Bonanno taps into the daily emotional and social challenges of living with autism, placing his innermost feelings onto canvas. The New England-based artist's work is image and concept-driven and embedded in his personal philosophy. His art contains the essence of his life, feelings, thoughts, and dreams, coupled with objects or topics that "get stuck in his head", including traffic lights, grids, ceiling fans, graffiti, and pop culture. Corporate clients include AMAZON, Google, and The Hartford. Vito is aligned with ArtLifting, which is a non-for-profit art organization that empowers artists living with disabilities through the celebration and sale of their artwork. ArtLifting is about creating opportunity, empowerment, and validation. This collaboration opened many new and exciting opportunities for the artist, which includes his work in Google's corporate collection, with art hanging in their Leesburg, VA offices, as well as Amazon, for one of their corporate buildings in Seattle, Washington. Bonanno was diagnosed with PDD/Autism just before his 4th birthday. Because he was language delayed, his parents and teachers developed strategies that tapped into his high visual acuity, utilizing storyboard styles to relay academic and social information. He was also encouraged to draw in storyboard format to express his feelings. The storyboard grid remains prominent in his work and studio preparation today and is a poignant reminder of a boy who was trapped in his own mind.
