While artist Sterling Brown was eating one day recently at Avocados on the downtown square in Gainesville, he noticed the different pieces of art adorning the restaurant’s walls. This led to a brief discussion between Brown and Avocados owner Albert Lunalover and resulted in Brown and two fellow artists, Crystal Turnblom and Jeremy Byers, exhibiting their work on the second floor of the restaurant. “It’s something different you know,” Lunalover said in a recent phone interview.
