ARTSOUTH
was founded in June 2000. After
extensive renovations, ArtSouth opened its doors to the public in
April 2001, with a core group of under ten artists. Today that
number has more than tripled, with the addition of a fully
operational school, galleries and on-going events. Since its
inception, ArtSouth has evolved significantly as a landmark arts
center in culturally underserved South Dade.
In addition to providing
affordable art studio spaces to juried artists, the 3.5
acre ArtSouth facility features three galleries, an art
school, a ceramic facility, a bronze foundry, a
performing arts studio, and extensive exhibit space.
ArtSouth provides year–round programming that includes
art exhibits and cultural performances that are free and
open to the public. We also provide extensive arts
education programming for adults and youth.
ArtSouth works closely with
governmental officials from The City of Homestead, The
Homestead Chamber/Florida City of Commerce and various
community leaders to enhance the appeal of the Downtown
Historic District. Each month residents and visitors
look forward to the monthly open house, known as “Second
Saturday.” “Second Saturday’s” have been ongoing since
2000. |
