Trashy Side Of Miami Beach Art Community Exposed

Trashy side of Miami Beach art community exposed!

Once again the quirky, edgy creativity of Miami artists shines in works of art made of, or based on trash, debris and found materials recycled into Divine Debris & Glorious Trash for the annual exhibit at Miami Beach Botanical Garden during the week of June 14 through 17.

For weeks prior to the deadline, Miami artists were sighted rummaging through trash barrels, cruising neighborhood streets on recycle days, emptying closets and garages, and finding form and beauty in things most people would consider trash. Broken shells, fallen palm fronds, rusty metals, old post cards, shattered mirrors, tattered fashions, beads, weeds and possibly even skeletal remains of unidentified critters will be transformed into two and three-dimensional juried artworks as photographs, paintings, graphics, fiber art, multi-media and sculpture creations.

All entries in the 2010 Divine Debris & Glorious Trash Art Exhibit will feature works that incorporate some aspect of, or relationship to, Miami Beach in conjunction with the Arts at St. John's ongoing History of Miami Beach Project.

Arts at St Johns, Artshare LLC and Miami Beach Botanical Garden are co-sponsors and presenters of this 2nd annual Divine Debris & Glorious Trash Art Exhibit. Dr. Carol Hoffman-Guzman, Founding Director of Arts at St Johns and Paula Turk, Sculptor/Photographer and Founder of ArtShare LLC are co-curators of this exhibit.

The Opening Reception is on Tuesday, June 15th at 7 pm at Miami Beach Botanical Garden, 2000 Convention Center Drive, Miami Beach, FL 33139.
The Divine Debris & Glorious Trash artworks will be on display throughout
the week during Garden Hours of 9 to 5pm. Admission is free.
