Artists in Action! 2013
Four presentations at Girls’ Club by prominent local female artists will offer a glimpse into their unique methods of artmaking. In conjunction with the exhibition Following the Line, the four presenting artists all manipulate the medium of drawing as a main element in their work. They will share their inspirations, career paths and ah hah! moments with the public. A lively atmosphere and stimulating discussion is guaranteed.

Workshops are held the Saturday following each talk, 1-4pm. Registration fee required.
Now in its fourth year at Girls’ Club, Artists in Action! talks are free and open to the public, held on Friday evenings during the spring. A workshop led by each artist, inspired by her creative process is offered on the Saturday afternoon following each talk. The sale of limited edition artist multiples by each artist is also available at each event. These events have been well-attended in previous years, and it is recommended to RSVP to attend.
Funding for this project is provided in part by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council and supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
