Beautiful & vibrant colors... but hey - come on -
David's paintings are more striking than this.
Don't you think?
Most of the show consisted of Digital Photography... as well as several local artists from throughout the state of Florida. Although there was one artist from New Jersey - Juan Bernal - who does etchings and murals.

As I sipped a Pinot Grigio and did a little people watching at The Mutiny, I had a thought:
A great additional to the Art Fest next year could be a "Greet & Meet" presentation with David Bromstad! He's a local gem a star AND an artist... who is also launching a line of his paintings this year. Along with David and tied back to the show are also a few other local artisans they have featured. Why not group a few booth together and feature ColorSplash - The Artisans Block?? It could promote the show, the local artists and add newness to the Art Fest!!
But hey - Who am I? Let's continue walking through the festival....

Capitalizing on space, the crowd and being closed off:
The Mutiny Hotel on Bayshore Drive utilized their driveway by creating a lounge. They served beverages and some appetizers in an area they created by relocating some of their pool lounge furnishings. Genius!!

Wow Lynda thats one hell of a arts festival some absolutely amazing photos, & check you out all uba cool & chic in the sunshine. Ive only been to miami once & I loved it. I was only there a few days as was visiting my sister in law who worked on the cruise ships at the time. Loved coconut grove though some great shops & eating places (although I was dragged along to Hooters by my now ex patner, talk about classy lol)
ReplyDeleteStunning pieces....looks like it was a fantastic day to browse some serious works of art. By any chance do you have the artist's name of the landscapes that is right above High Cliff Studio's images?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the idea of the meet and greet with David. That would certainly be a huge hit!
xo
Thank you so much for sharing these photos. When you live in South Dakota, you don't get much exposure to this kind of art.
ReplyDeleteLynda, this was a great post! I love the idea of Meet N Greet with David - what a cool idea - hope the organizers of this festival will pick up on that -- and one of my favorite phots in the whole bunch was that condo/apt building with the curved balconies - very cool. I create denim fashions - with paint, glitter and jewels - which would fit perfectly into a 'hot' climate like yours -- (in northern climes we tend to only wear these things in the summer)
