This weekend's feature artist is Nico Amortegui.

Nico is a native of Bogotá, Colombia, who has lived and worked in the southeast since immigrating to the United States in 1996.  A product of a large, close-knit family, Nico grew up surrounded by artists, learning carpentry, photography, interior design, and painting along the way.  Throughout his 20's, Nico focused on photography, traveling throughout the US to shoot for various modeling agencies as well as surf and skate magazines.  He now focuses on painting, sculpting and woodworking with found objects.

We are happy to excited Nico as our Week End Artist!

We will be open Friday, August 15 from 2 pm until 7 pm and on Saturday, August 16 we will be open from 2 pm until 9:30 pm as we will be participating in Downtown Hollywood ArtWalk.  We invite you to come into the gallery and see his incredible work at affordable prices.  Here is a small sample of his work.

Gallery 2014 is excited to announce it's Fall Lecture Series.  

The lectures will be held the second Wednesday of each month, from 6:30 - 8:00 pm.  Wine, cheese and crackers will be served.  The cost is $10.00  

The first of these lectures will take place on Wednesday, October 8, with acclaimed Fort Lauderdale art collectors Pearl and Stanley Goodman as our first speakers.  The Goodman's began their collection of Latin American modernists in the 1980s.  They were attracted to Latin American art because it tells " a story, usually with clear political and social messages."  Pearl, a retired educator, explores "different periods by each artist" she collects.  Stanley, an artist and retired cardiologist, tends to "emphasize the academic merit of the work."  Together they have  built an impressive collection that includes masters such as Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo, Joaquín Torres García , José Clemente Orozco and Wilfredo Lam.

"Pearl and Stanley Goodman began collecting Latin American art as the field itself was being identified as an area worthy of attention, acquisition and scholarship." "In many ways, both the Goodmans and the great interest in Latin American art developed together."
