Our History Visual arts in South Florida took a giant leap forward with the formation of 2+3, the Artists' Organization. In 1986 local artist Tin Ly, with the support of the late Duane Hanson, internationally renowned sculptor and ultimately the group's advisor, combined their efforts with the Broward Cultural Affairs Council and invited 39 award-winning, professional artists to establish 2+3, the Artists' Organization. The shared philosophy of this newly formed group was to grow the awareness of visual arts in South Florida as well as offer a supportive environment to member artists. The name 2+3 denotes two- and three-dimensional artwork. From abstract to impressionism, realism, and surrealism; from installations to paintings, photography and sculpture, 2+3 exemplifies creative excellence in nearly all disciplines and media. An abbreviated list of exhibitions showcasing the work of 2+3 members is as follows: IGFA
Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum, Danie Beach, FL In 2003-2004 our curated "Shopping" exhibition can be seen at the Center for the Arts in the Vero Beach, Florida Jupiter Town Hall Gallery and at The Webber Center in Ocala, Florida. 2+3 believes that our environment can be enhanced visually through the Arts. The process of tapping into the intuitive and making art is a powerful tool for change. As such, to engage as many people as possible in experiencing their "creative zone," 2+3 mandates its members to outreach within the community. Some of the group's outreach projects are listed below: Broward
General Hospital HIV Clinic - Two murals 2+3 has received two grants from Broward Cultural Affairs in recognition of its dedication to enhancing the Arts in South Florida. 2+3, the Artists Organization, has monthly meetings focusing on a variety of topics. Presentations from a diverse population of artists, critics, gallery owners, historians, grant experts, psychologists, inventors and other professionals outside the organization add to broadening the scope of our membership. Meetings are open to the general public. |
