FLORIDA ARTIST GROUP, INC.

PURPOSE

The FLORIDA ARTIST GROUP was incorporated as a non-profit organization of practicing artists who had gained recognition nationally or state-wide and whose work would contribute significantly to its exhibi­tions. The purpose is the stimulation of finer standards of the creative effort within the State of Florida.

ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM

Since 1949, the Florida Artist Group has held a symposium and a members' exhibition each year in a different Florida city. Its educational and other cultural aims are advocated at these meetings through lectures, panel discussions, films and exhibits.

In addition to the Symposium and Exhibition held in the Spring, area exhibitions and meetings are sponsored at other times in various places in the state. The nature of these meetings follows, in a small way, the character of the Spring meeting. They also serve to bring the members of the organization more closely together.

JURIED SHOWS

To insure an annual exhibition of exceptional quality, the show is juried. The organization always brings in an eminent juror from out-of-state who is primarily associated with art administration, education or a painter or sculptor of national repute. Past locations of Exhibitions have includ­ed the Norton Gallery, Ringling Museum, Cummer Gallery of Art, the Jacksonville Art Museum, Miami Metropolitan Museum and the Lowe Museum, University of South Florida, University of Florida, Rollins College, Daytona Museum of Arts and Sciences and many other outstanding galleries.

Area VII -Hendry, Lee and Collier Counties. Area VIII - Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okeloosa, Walton, Holmes,

On behalf of the Board and Membership, I would like to thank the Sarasota Art Association for providing us such a large, beautiful exhibi­tion space. We are grateful to Area Ill for all their work. We are indebted to the generosity of all the sponsors, old and new, for their Awards. Thanks to Dorothy Gillespie for jurying the Awards.

ABOUT THE JUROR · 1989

Dorothy Gillespie is the juror of Awards for the 40th Annual

Exhibition of the Florida Artist Group at the Sarasota Art Associa·

tion. Ms. Gillespie studied with Stanley William Hayter's Atelier

17 in New York and received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts from

Caldwell College, Caldwell, New Jersey. An internationally known

painter, sculptor, educator, writer and lecturer, she has had

numerous solo exhibitions from California to Peru. Ms. Gillespie

is active in a variety of artistic disciplines including Solo Happen·

ings and Environments. She has created a 30 minute video tape

documentary for Public Television as well as two sculptural set

designs for the Cleveland Ballet. Her work is in the collections of

the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Albright-Knox

Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York and the State Collection, Frankfurt

Museum, Germany among many others. The Florida Artist Group

is honored to have Dorothy Gillespie as our juror.

JUROR'S STATEMENT

T he responsibility involved in the judging of an important art ex·

hibition need to be examined by the juror in order to clarify his or

her role. So as to do the best job possible I, as juror, try to set some

priorities.

By taking into consideration the viewing public, the sponsoring

organization, the artist entering work, the styles of art entered, the

mediums used in the work, the areas from which the work has been

sent and the purpose of the exhibit itself-looking carefully at all

of these, plus the most important ingredient of an art exhibition­

the best work, the most creative work, the most experimental work

along with the professional way in which the works were pre­

sented-taking all these into consideration and then letting the

works speak to me by looking at them over and over and over again

and again. By using these procedures I, as the juror, have certainly

given each piece of art very serious consideration.

It was a delight to be a part of this very fine exhibiton, and I want

to congratulate the Florida Artist Group for a job well done on their

40th anniversary.
