Main Gallery
The largest gallery typically hosts three exhibitions per year (Fall through Spring). These exhibitions are curated by the Council, or by qualified collaborators, and include multiple artists across varied mediums representing the exhibition’s theme, or as conceived by the juror or curator. Artists are sourced from the Council’s online directory and/or through a public call for artists.
Current Exhibition
Beyond Blossoms: The Power of Pollinators
April 19 – June 22
This exhibition features Palm Beach County-based professional artists whose work represents the flora that attracts pollinators to our region. The show will also include a site-specific installation of a wheat paste mural of mandalas based on the colors and patterns of local pollinators.
Guest Curator: Wendy DesChene and Jeff Schmuki of Plantbot Genetics
Previous Exhibitions
She. Her. Hers.
January 26 – April 6, 2024
While women artists are beginning to achieve recognition for their work, they remain under-represented in galleries and museums. This exhibition focused exclusively on the work of women artists and their responses to perceived requirements of domesticity, the many waves of feminism, and their own lived experiences.
Guest Curator: Véronique Chagnon-Burke, Co-Founder of Women Art Dealers Digital Archives
Solo Gallery
This gallery is to provide Palm Beach County-based emerging, mid-career, or professional visual artists with an opportunity for a solo exhibition (typically a full series of their work or a sampling of work representative of their career evolution). Exhibitions are chosen annually through a non-paid, competitive selection process vetted by a committee of visual arts professionals.
Diana Garcia: Glue – Paper – Scissors
Whispers of Transformation, 2023, Paper analog collage, 24 x 36 inches
Exhibition: March 15 – May 4, 2024
Diana Garcia has long been experimenting with paper, a flexible yet rigid material that serves as her medium of communication. She transforms images rescued from books and magazines, often forgotten on shelves, and reuses paper as an act of love for the planet. Glue, paper, and scissors are the three essential elements in her work. They have given life to memories, thoughts, and places that captivate her and allow her to imagine what she has yet to experience. Shape, texture, and proportion are vital to her composition process. Humans are always implicit in Garcia’s work, but they are not always the protagonist.
Donald M. Ephraim Family Foundation Gallery
A flexible space that can be used to feature an individual artist, creative collaboration, or a community or educational art project.
Renée Rey
2024 Dina Baker Fund for Mature Female Artists Grantee
27 Co: Sustaining (detail), 2023, Oil and graphite on canvas, 72 x 72 inches
Exhibition: April 12–June 8, 2024
Renée Rey creates mystical ecospheres in which she explores the concepts of place, memory, transformation, and reconstruction. Central to her work is a belief in a “Grand Unity:” an internal oneness with nature and people rooted in equality, inclusiveness, and a healthy global environment. In her work, Rey provokes a dialog between paint and a higher consciousness. She gradually reveals layers of symbolism and mystery through unexpected visual relationships with dripping paint, sweeping brush strokes, and both abstract and realistic imagery that points to the temporal and the sublime.

Visualizing Climate Disruption
Carin Wagner, Dead Trees Grow No New Leaves II, 2012, oil on canvas, 30″ x 30″
Exhibition: April 11–May 19, 2024
Location: Ansin Family Art Gallery, Miramar Cultural Center | ArtsPark, 2400 Civic Center Place, Miramar, FL 33025, miramarculturalcenter.org
Artists living and working in Palm Beach County are uniquely positioned to observe the effects of climate disruption, as Florida is on the front lines of sea level rise, climbing temperatures, catastrophic storms, devastation of coral reefs, and disappearing seagrasses.
The work in this exhibition explores the effects of climate disruption and engages audiences in topics such as endangered species, shrinking habitats, pollution, recycling, and coastal resiliency while also reveling in some environmental success stories.
