Saturday October 6, 2012
One-Day Open Call exhibition of South Florida artists at Girls’ Club to energize Downtown Fort Lauderdale Contemporary Art Scene.
Tour art venues, studios, exhibitions with free shuttle transportation.
To celebrate National Arts and Humanities Month, a coast-to-coast collective recognition of the importance of culture in the United States, Girls’ Club is hosting the third annual Art Fallout, a day for contemporary art in downtown Fort Lauderdale.
Tour the pockets of contemporary art activity with Girls’ Club, 1310 Gallery at Sailboat Bend Artist Lofts, Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale, FAT Village and the Green Room. Art Fallout is a day of events and exhibitions to introduce neighbors to the burgeoning arts scene right here in Downtown Fort Lauderdale.
At Girls’ Club, all south Florida artist are invited to submit work on paper as part of a one-day, open call exhibition Art Fallout: Drawn In. A panel of prominent South Florida arts professionals will informally judge the works in the exhibition on their merits, and the public is invited to give personal feedback to the artists via a system of color-coded handwritten messages. This unique system is a fun way to connect artists with art enthusiasts, curators and gallery owners.

A tremendous success in 2011, Art Fallout counted more than 300 visitors at Girls’ Club alone, each armed with colorful sticky notes to share their personal feedback with more than 85 local artists whose work was on view. The Fort Lauderdale arts community is steadily growing, and Art Fallout is a fun and social way to see what has been developing in local studios, galleries and alternative spaces all year.
