ART + EXHIBITS
We embrace a myriad of artists at varying levels in their career with a focus on featuring artists that are emerging to mid-level. We are committed to developing and showcasing exhibitions that are engaging, vary in media and techniques from diverse artists both locally and internationally. Exhibitions debut approximately every 8 weeks. Our Museum is a place for all ages to come and enjoy and is admission free.
We provide a variety of ways for artists, makers and supporters to participate and be highlighted in the museum. Engagement includes but is not limited to selling wares in our gallery to shop, offering workshops, calls to artists, arts sales and events and even becoming an active member of the Coral Springs Artist Guild. No matter how you participate, we are excited to see you and thank you for your support!

RUSHING DOWN | HERMES BERRIO + CARMEN SMITH
EXHIBITION OVERVIEW
RUSHING down combines the works of Hermes Berrio and Carmen Smith. Berrio and Smith capture the significance of everyday life, relating to the grand scope that emphasizes both the mundane and the extraordinary. They explore how the built environment affects emotional and psychological states surrounding them and their environments. Smith’s series Night Swimming emphasizes the nocturnal urban South Florida landscape, imaging it as a magical, otherworldly playground of glowing pools and colorful buildings. Her compositions are kept simple, while her use of color is exaggerated to elicit an emotional response. While Berrio’s urban paintings are personal snapshots of his people, the city, and a sublimely laid out perspective that feels universal and unpretentious; his pieces are documentary-like in nature. His paintings present a monumental vision of urban life.
