GUIDELINES & ENTRY FORMS  www.artistshavengallery.com/events/ JUDGE:

Irvin M. Lippman, Executive Director, Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale.

 

Irvin took the helm of the Museum in 2003 and oversaw the merger into Nova

Southeastern University (NSU) in 2008. Over the last seven years, the Museum has

achieved unprecedented success with exhibitions that have made the Museum the

most attended art museum in South Florida. In addition to bringing extraordinary

exhibitions such as the now infamous Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the

Pharaohs and the upcoming Vatican Splendors (January 2011) and Offering of the

Angels: Paintings and Tapestries from the Uffizi (November 2011), the Museum has

developed a national reputation for its own collections that have been brought

together since the Museum’s founding in 1958.  The Museum’s Studio School,

which was inaugurated in 2004, has become a major part of the educational

program; and there are plans underway to expand the School in a renovated 14,000

sq ft building enabling it to offer a larger curriculum -- ceramics, sculpture,

photography, graphic design -- with the goal of serving over 2500 students

annually by 2014. A major renovation has recently been completed of the Museum’s

Plaza which will literally extend the cultural life of the Museum and NSU into

the City.

Exhibition - The 45 selected artists will participate in a collective

exhibition at the Artists’ Haven Gallery. The exhibition will be from May 10th

through May 31st, 2011.

Opening Reception - A Meet the Artists & Awards Presentation event will

be held on the evening of Saturday, May 14, 2011 from 6 - 9pm.  Free and

public invited.
