Main Gallery

The largest gallery typically hosts three exhibitions per year (Fall through Spring). These exhibitions are curated by the Council, or by qualified collaborators, and include multiple artists across varied mediums representing the exhibition’s theme, or as conceived by the juror or curator. Artists are sourced from the Council’s online directory and/or through a public call for artists.

Solo Gallery

This gallery is to provide Palm Beach County-based emerging, mid-career, or professional visual artists with an opportunity for a solo exhibition (typically a full series of their work or a sampling of work representative of their career evolution). Exhibitions are chosen annually through a non-paid, competitive selection process vetted by a committee of visual arts professionals.

Lauren Bertelson: Like Mother, Like Daughter

bertelson

Just a Trim, 2023, Archival inkjet print, 42 inches x 30 inches

Exhibition: October 6 – December 2, 2023

Lauren Bertelson’s mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother have left literal and metaphorical scars in her family archive. Those photos document their struggles in wanting to be seen and appreciated for the intensive domestic labor they participated in while also displaying palpable trauma from rejection and dismissal of their accomplishments. Lauren’s work emerges from their desires to both create and destroy, combining self-portraiture with a variety of domestic crafts to create a feminist body of work that simultaneously recognizes her matrilineage and elevates domestic work to contemporary art. Her practice is about love and anger and the transfer of these sentiments through generations of women.

 

 

 

Kristin Miller: We Become the Place

Kristin Miller, Basking in Bougainvillea

Basking in Bougainvillea, 2021, Handmade paper, xerox transfer, charcoal, wire, ribbon, 60 x 40 x 6 inches

Exhibition: December 8, 2023 – January 20, 2024

Artist Reception: December 7, 2023, 5 – 7 p.m. Click to RSVP.

We Become the Place is an exhibit that creates habitats through the layering of mixed-media materials in both works on paper and sculptural installations. Referencing South Florida’s unique landscape, these bodies of work create a sense of “wall-life,” which dance delicately between 2D and 3D spaces exploring concepts of identity and adaptation. Acting as nature’s gesture drawings, air plants and jellyfish are shapeshifters, while flora and fauna create a consistent narrative. Nature changes and morphs to its specific location, becoming the place. Through quiet observation we adapt as well – floating and drifting through new identities, creating a personal and natural symbiosis between our daily life and the physical environment.
