radicatedretro“RADICATED RETROSPECTIVE II” OFFERS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT YOUNG ARTISTS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday, October 27; 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Gallery@CGAF Mayfair Complex

3390 Mary Street, Coconut Grove

Free and open to the public

The impressively diverse collection comprised of more than 200 works of art runs the gamut of styles, techniques and movements. The great majority of the work will be on sale for just $50 a piece, to benefit the WyMan Scholarship Fund, established in 2012 for NWSA and DASH students interested in pursuing their college education at New World School of the Arts’ visual arts program.

The varied collection includes paintings, collages, drawings, photography and installations – some recently created while others were conceived and developed up to three decades ago. “It is a challenge for two artists to share a studio for thirty years and the challenge increases exponentially when the two artists are husband and wife,” said Dr. Stacey Mancuso, whose work will be featured along with her late husband Tom Wyroba’s artwork, “Our objective was to support the college education of worthy students from NWSA and DASH so that our community can continue to reap the benefits of creating, nurturing and developing world artists.”
