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!

COLOR + LIGHT + SPACE
EXHIBITION OVERVIEW
Contemporary artists Claudio Marcotulli, Devora Perez, Haiiileen, and Renee Phillips will explore the synthesis of color, light, and space through their unique and large-scale installations.
Inspired by both natural and celestial phenomena, Haiiileen and Marcotulli allude to the visible spectrum of light throughout their work. Haiiileen’s Aura Mirrors are a visual interpretation of sound resulting from synesthesia, or “color-hearing,” a condition in which certain audible tones evoke an almost otherworldly sense of color and shape. While Marcotulli’s biconical light sculpture, Spectrum Collider, pays homage to one of his favorite films, 2001: A Space Odyssey. This exhibit will also mark the debut of Marcotulli’s newest installation, Flight of Colors.
Perez’s use of everyday materials, such as cement, plexiglass, and wood, are used in new and unconventional ways. She emphasizes color, texture, and the industrial material itself to produce bold and poignant visual juxtapositions against the natural landscape. Her work Erasure in the Making further plays with the perception of lightness and darkness, casting different shadows across the museum floors and walls at various times of the day. The use of shadows is meant to construct divisions and separate spaces, an effect symbolic of the built environment and its constructs.
Phillips is a process-based artist, often referring to her studio as a science lab. To achieve her sculptural color field paintings, she manipulates her paint to droop, ripple, crack, and pool on the surface of her canvas, creating a layered sculptural-like finish that allows each color to display its individual signature effect. Before she puts her paint to canvas, she studies each color, making notes on how they react to heat, time, and gravity. These “meditations” on color will be on display next to each of her finished works.
Regardless of each artist’s individual perspective, the works in Color + Space + Light all raise questions about the relationship among object and viewer. The composition isn’t necessarily found within the works themselves, rather the museum as a whole is transformed into an interactive optical and sensory environment. The artwork encourages the viewer to become a participant in the installations, rather than just an observer, eliminating the distinction between the work and the space surrounding it.

We look forward to seeing many people come to the Museum to enjoy this exhibition.
