18 artists from ArtLofts present their work in Florida CraftArtโs Exhibition Gallery
Florida CraftArt presents The Artists of ArtLofts in its Exhibition Gallery from January 6 to January 15. The 18 award-winning and emerging artists will present recent artwork which includes drawings, encaustic, fiber, frames, glass, jewelry, mixed media, painting, photography, and sculpture.
On Friday, January 6, from 5 to 7 p.m., meet the artists at the opening of the exhibition: Christine Di Staola, Javier Dones, Julie Dye, Mavis Gibson, Jeannine Hascall, Susan Hess, Brian James, Gilbert Johnson (Poor Richardโs Framing), Beth Kauffman, Betsy Lester, Karen Porter, Rebecca Skelton, Brandy Stark, Kas Turner, Joe Walles, Lee West, Rick Whalen, and Donna Winchester.
โThis is an opportunity for people to explore a variety of mediums by these top-quality artists in a gallery setting,โ says Tyler Jones, the board president of Florida CraftArt. โThe talented ArtLoft artists have such a profound level of experience and a diversity of styles. Several of the artists teach at colleges and universities and have undoubtedly influenced many artists in Florida. While Florida CraftArt is based on fine craft, we support fine art with these artistsโ studios and exhibits. Of course, the line between fine art and fine craft is getting more and more blurred in the art world.โ
ArtLofts is on the second floor of Florida CraftArt and has working artistsโ studios. The studios are usually open to the public for the Saturday ArtWalks or by appointment.
