EXHIBIT: The Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art, 600 Klosterman Road, presents "Fragile Florida: Watercolor Paintings" by Taylor Ikin. The exhibition runs through Sept. 11. The exhibition is comprised of paintings that were initially part of the Hillsborough Collection, a series of site-specific paintings based on local imagery in the county's environmentally protected lands and protected properties acquired through the Environmental Lands Acquisition Properties program. The public does not have access to these protected areas, which makes Ikin's paintings truly one-of-a-kind. The original collection has now been expanded to include Pinellas County, and new works will be added for the exhibition. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday; evening hours are Thursday, 5 to 9 p.m., and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and free to children and students with ID. Sunday admission is free. Call 712-5762.

EXHIBIT: Artist James Sikes presents "A Landscape Journey - From Europe to Asia: A watermedia painting and collage exhibit" through Sept. 22. Sikes, a self-taught watermedia painter and collagist, draws upon his travels and experiences in Asia for inspiration in creating both figurative and abstract works. Much of his work derives from a strong attraction to traditional scenes and architecture found in old towns and rural areas, especially in Japan where he lived. For this exhibit, Sikes will expand his geographical reach somewhat with the inclusion of a series of paintings and collages with European town and country themes. Exhibit hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free. Tarpon Springs Cultural Center, 101 S Pinellas Ave.
