POMPANO BEACH PUBLIC ART PROGRAM

8

In 2012, the City Commission adopted a public art ordinance to enhance the aesthetic and cultural value of the city by including works of art on public properties within the city. The City Commission next created the Public Art Committee to guide the implementation of this program. This Committee meets on a monthly basis at the Pompano Beach Cultural Center at 5 pm on the third Thursday of each month.

The Public Art Committee strives to create artworks and a public art program that is inventive, unexpected and surprising and to collaborate with the community through its festivals and cultural facilities. Currently, the Public Art Program is completing its Mosaic Team Project. Artist Sonata Kazimieraitiene has been commissioned to create four mosaic projects to be displayed throughout the City.

Ms. Kazimieraitiene has been working with apprentices teaching them the craft of ceramics and mosaic art. One of the projects, Music Leads the Way, has been completed and is installed at the Pompano Beach Amphitheater. The Amphitheater is a 3,000-seat, open-air performing arts theater that hosts exceptional artists and events in North Broward’s venue for art, music and culture. The Music Leads the Way features music themed mosaic murals.

To learn more about the program, please contact Laura Atria 954-545-7800, ext. 3813. Please also join our Artist Network and stay informed of current and future Calls for Artists and other exciting art opportunities taking place in Pompano Beach. pompanobeacharts.org | June 2019 |

DOUBLE EXPOSURE EXHIBITION

Curated by Sharon Lee Hart and featuring the artists: Carol Prusa, elin O’hara slavick, Ivan Santiago, Izel Vargas, Kate Hawkes, Maria Britton, Mario Marzan, Mike Dillow, Nick Gilmore, Roberto Navarrete, Roger Boulay, Sammi McLean, Susanne Slavick, Sharon Lee Hart and William Cordova.

From preserved, pristine cherry blossoms encased in ice to scarred, yet tenacious atomic bomb witnesses in Hiroshima, trees and their parts continually school us on the process of growth, decay, and resilience.

This exhibition is an expression of the artist’s double life as a visual artist and vocalist. A.J. Brown will feature images from his collection such as Portraits, Landscapes, Folk and Pop Culture Art and viewers will be taken on a journey through time and space in each painting. They will experience the manipulation of canvas and colors uniquely created from the artist’s palette.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE SUN EXHIBITION

BOTANICAL ANIMALIA EXHIBITION

The word “luck” is often used when talking about sunny days. Luck is also an important factor in Krista Steinke’s exhibit where trial and error, chance, and imperfection become part of her photographic process. Using homemade pinhole cameras and other unconventional techniques, Steinke approaches the sun as both her subject and creative tool.

This exhibition features lively illustrations by Catalina Villegas that explores the vast diversity of lush flora and fauna found in Colombia and Florida. Born in Medellin, Colombia, Catalina now lives between La Ceja, Colombia, and Pompano Beach, Florida. She is an illustrator and surface pattern designer who grew up drawing and painting all of her favorite plants and animals.
