Ocean Art Gallery will celebrate the 50th-anniversary of the Woodstock Music and Art Festival by showcasing art made by the man who helped find a home for the famous 1969 festival.
Elliot Tiber, artist, memoirist, screenwriter, humorist, interior designer and gay activist, met Ocean Art Gallery owner Frank Gromling in May 2016. Gromling signed Tiber to an art agency agreement, according to a press release, and six months later, Tiber died of a stroke. Gromling, a managing partner of IQA Art Partners LLC — the legal marketing agency for Tiber's art — is kicking off the "Six Months to Woodstock" campaign in Ormond Beach.
The first celebration event will unveil five of Tiber's original pen and ink sketches at 5 p.m. on March 15. Different pieces will be introduced each month in a six-month rollout of Tiber's art. Free admission. Refreshments will be provided.

The pantry provides food to 120 families each week, according to a press release, and is operated by the St. Brendan Catholic Church, which also operates a thrift
store. Food and clothing are donated by locals and church members, and the money raised by the thrift store is used to buy food for the pantry.
