This weekend, Kanapaha Botanical Gardens will host Paint Out, an annual event in which about 20 local landscape artists join together to create a live painting experience inspired by the gardens around them.
Ft. Lauderdale-based quintet The Heavy Pets will be playing a set composed entirely of Beatles covers Friday at High Dive in a tribute show the group affectionately calls “Walrus.”
There have been some incredible releases so far in 2016 and over the past few weeks, several established artists released projects that are definitely worth checking out. Here are some of the best:
The Florida basketball team will play 12 Southeastern Conference games on national TV this season.
For 92-year-old Estelle Blakely, wearing makeup used to be a morning routine.
Preseason Week 4 is a bittersweet time to be unproven in the NFL. On one hand, there’s probably no better opportunity to score playing time as head coaches cautiously sit their starters. But it could also be your last chance to suit up if you’re cut from the 53-man roster. Former Gators experienced both outcomes over the weekend, from 2013 running backs to Jeff Driskel to a pair of Chiefs’ receivers and scattered defensive specialists.
Two UF football players charged with firing BB guns on campus had their felony charges reduced, Bill Cervone, a state attorney, said.
Moriah Saunders, 21, has worn shabby UF Women’s Rugby Club jerseys for two years. But she said it’s not the bloodstains and holes that bother her.
UF’s Supreme Court failed three petitions Tuesday after students spent two hours defending them.
There wasn’t a doubt that Florida’s secondary showed holes in its season opener against UMass — a 53-yard bomb down the sideline over sophomore defensive back Chris Williamson in the second quarter affirmed that notion.
Twenty years after gunfire ended his life, Tupac Shakur will be remembered as more than just a hip-hop artist.
Starting today, UF students and staff can get free vaccination shots.
The alligatorSports roundtable returns for Week 2, and this time we’ll discuss what we think will be the biggest key to a Florida win on Saturday against Kentucky. Sports writers Ethan Bauer, Ian Cohen, Jordan McPherson and Patrick Pinak will debate, with arguments going in alphabetical order by last name.
Adult and childhood pleasures will collide Friday at a burlesque show inspired by “The Lord of the Rings.”
The construction of low-income housing planned for Gainesville received a monetary boost Tuesday.
UF’s College of the Arts is attempting to buy two dragonfly statues on display in its courtyard.
UF’s Vice President for Student Affairs David Parrott addressed the Student Senate on Tuesday night.
Cynthia Mo climbed to the third floor of the Reitz Union Tuesday armed with a list of ideas to improve UF.
As I’m sure you can tell from yesterday’s editorial, the talented David Hoffman is taking a break from writing. With that sad news behind us, I feel like I should reintroduce myself. My name is Zachary Lee. I’m very excited to announce that I will be joining the Alligator in a more involved capacity for the remainder of the semester. I’m humbled and honored (typical tacky word choice, but sincere, I assure you) to have you all as my audience.
One thing this presidential election has brought out in the general public that I cannot stand is the peculiar habit of people to air their opinions as frequently as CNN mentions Donald Trump. Seriously, if you watch 15 minutes of CNN, you’ll think Trump is Dr. Evil from “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.” It seems to me this behavior, namely the obsessive instinct to break down every single word and deed from both candidates, has trickled down into our everyday conversations. To be honest, I am tired of reading and hearing the banal, repetitive and cliche opinions that have been passed around as frequently as a cute puppy since last year.
