Third Avenue Art District
Annual ArtWalk

This Saturday
February 6, 2010
6-10pm

The fifteenth year of the Third Ave Art District Artwalk will be a memorable occasion, when the nine Third Avenue Studio Artists open their studios for the Annual Artwalk on the 6th of February 2010 from 6pm to 10pm.

This group of professional artists has persistently focused its’ efforts for fifteen years on creating a visual arts district in Fort Lauderdale. In the professional world, these artists are national and international award winning talents visible in museum and public and private collections. Artists include: Francie Bishop Good, Tobey Archer, Madeline Denaro, Tin Ly, Rosanna Saccoccio, Mary Lou Siefker, Wilma Bulkin Siegal, Margi Glavovic Nothard and Janet Gold.

Also participating in this year’s Artwalk is Set to Manual, an exhibition presented by Girls’ Club, a non-profit alternative space exhibiting contemporary art by women. Set to Manual includes works by thirty artists in diverse media characterized by intensive hand manufacture. Local gallery 18 Rabbit will also be open during the Art Walk and will be presenting the opening of In Advance of the Failing Light, an installation by Blaine Siegel. The Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale will also open its doors to the public as part of the tour.

[Editor's note: It's too bad this only happens once a year. Fort Lauderdale's reputation for art will never grow if more regularly scheduled events of this type are not held. There are things in western Broward, but this is downtown, the supposed heart of the city.]
