Curation Sensation!

These past 10 days have been a whirlwind as the Tarpon River Art Center - TRAC - (where I have my studio) was invited to present a 'Meet the Artists' exhibit at the Design Center of the Americas (DCOTA) in Dania Beach, Florida, by art lover Carol Teti of Decorative Crafts.


What we thought could be a small area in the DCOTA lobby to showcase our artwork turned out to be a barn-sized and FABULOUS gallery space! Carol counted on me to pull this show together, so for the past week I was emailing and calling all the resident artists, creating a flyer, gathering / transporting / hanging artwork, getting a short biography of every participating artist and liaising with Carol's staff to pull the show together. With the carting and hanging help of Artists Nancy Edelstein and Tatiana Castaneda, as well as the fabulous artwork of all involved, we were able to put together a top-notch show!

Thank you Carol for this AWESOME opportunity and the beautiful Wine and Cheese reception following our TRAC Meet the Artists show!  And, thank you to all the participating Artists:
Tristina Dietz Elmes, Sandra Rosar, Joseph (Joe) Yznaga Regan, Dr. Ken Slossberg, Jane Lambert, Nancy Edelstein, Kristina Thalin, Ava Stevenson, Tatiana Castaneda, Lydia Schut, and AJ Grossman. :D
