Artist Opportunities

Project Fine Art is moving from Progresso Plaza to F.A.T. Village (500 N.W. First Ave., Fort Lauderdale) in August and is seeking "new artists with a body of work to show and is open to all mediums —sculpture, painting, drawing, multimedia, photography" notes Ryan Sirois, a creative at Helium Creative, the graphic design agency that founded Project Fine Art. "We are looking to showcase artists in our online gallery at Projectfineart.com as well as in the physical gallery space at F.A.T Village for events such as Artwalk. Submissions and online portfolios can be sent to Info@projectfineart.com."

Stage 84 seeks artists for its next show and the theme is Spring. As they put it, "Flowers, rain, sunshine anything that reminds you of the season." You can fill out a form on Stage 84's website or e-mail samples to Booking@stage84.com. Set up is May 25 and the show opens May 31. Art take down will be in the end of June. 

Life Is Art head honcho James Echols explains why he is soliciting donations of art for the June 2 Miami Beach Chamber Gala. An excerpt: "You know, normally I am not really in favor of asking artists to donate work. I know how much effort each piece takes, and the usual return is very low. However, this Gala includes approximately 1200 of the heavy-hitters from Miami Beach and around South Florida. These are people with real money, many of whom are avid art lovers. This really is great exposure. Plus, it benefits the Miami Beach Education Foundation, helping to support our youth."

The Circus Basura is coming to town ... straight to F.A.T. Village on May 26 and it looks like they could use some help.

The Weekender on Main Street is seeking artists for its May 25-26 gallery night that features music and live art in Miami Lakes. Deadline is May 22.
