FLORfDA ARTIST GROUP, INC. • FLORIDA ARTIST GROUP, INC. 36th ANNUAL EXHIBITION . ~ . LONGBOAT KEY ART CENTER LONGBOAT KEY, FLORIDA APRIL 20- MAY 11. 1985 Florida Artist Group, Inc. PURPOSE The FLORIDA ARTIST GROUP was incorporated as a non-profit or ganization of practicing artists who had gained recognition nationally or state-wide and whose work would contribute significantly to its ex hibitions. The purpose is the stimulation of finer standards of the crea tive 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 educa tional 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, r 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 out standing galleries.

Myers, FL 33901 This exhibition was chose from over twice as many works pre 813/334· 7093 sented. I selected works based on either their inventiveness, i.e. the degree to which the artist attempted an original use of the medium or Mimi Romig purely on my sense that a significant emotional or intellectual deposit had P.O. Box 137, Rt. 10 Ft. Myers, FL 33908 been invested by the creator. It is extremely difficult to know this and one 813/466-4448 can only feel or sense it. As a curator, I have tried to choose an exhibition which demonstrates a range of sensibilities. Style is not the Alicia Schmidt predominant feature of art; content is considerably more important to 5203 Rutland Ct. me. Cape Coral, FL 33904 I would like to thank the Florida Artist Group and Mrs. Anne Atz for 813/549-8425 giving me the opportunity to come to this area and view the work presen Anne Tunnis Summy ted and thereby be involved with some of the artists who reside in this 2885 Gulf Shore Blvd. beautiful state.
