In Lake Park, Art on Park Studios and Gallery is hosting their monthly 2nd Saturday Celebration. It will take place from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. It will feature works from the gallery along with Studio Artist Members. Each month the gallery promotes a new artist, so don't fear seeing the same things over and over again. It is located at 800 Park Avenue and best of all, it's FREE!
Further down south in Miami is the Wynwood District Second Saturday Art Gallery Walk. It goes from 7:00 - 10:00 pm and is FREE and open to the public. The galleries stay open late while entertainment and drinks take place on the streets. The Wynwood Art District is located at North Miami Ave to I95 and extends from 10th to 36th street.
On a side note:
This lovely painting is titled Maecenas Presenting the Liberal Arts to Emperor Augustus. It's creator Giovanni Battista Tiepolo was one of the most successful Italian painters of the 18th century and the most famous since the Renaissance period. When I chose to write my thesis on this painting last semester, I'd never heard of Tiepolo and was very proud of myself for choosing an artist that was obscure.
Wrong.
I was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York a few weeks ago and they have an entire room dedicated to him. Too bad the painting I chose to write about lives in St. Petersburg, Russia. I would love to see it in person.
