“Scout” by Jane Lawton Baldridge

 

 

What inspired this show: This exhibit is inspired by a visit to this year’s Art Basel down during December’s Miami Art Week. We were delighted, energized, and creatively stimulated to create ART OUT OF THE BOX (AOOTB) as our next Exhibit theme.

We encourage our members to consider producing new works that are unexpected & surprising coming from artists whose work has become familiar.
