ARTSOUTH
is the creation of Ellie Schneiderman and I. Stanley
Levine. Incorporated in June 2000, ArtSouth first 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 undeserved South Dade.

A clay artist for
over 35 years, Schneiderman first made her
appearance on the art scene in the late 1970s
with the Grove House in Coconut Grove. From
there she founded the South Florida Art Center
on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, inspiring a
total revitalization of the area now known as a
hotspot for arts, entertainment, and shopping.
Schneiderman stayed on with South Florida Art
Center for 10 years before moving on to open
Miami Art Works in Coconut Grove and then
ArtSouth in Homestead. |

I. Stanley
Levine has been a prominent patron of
the performing arts for many years.
Levine aided in bringing the Miami City
Ballet to fruition, has served on the
Miami Preservation League, currently
serves on the Florida Arts Council, and
is involved in countless other
art-related organizations locally and
out-of-state. |

|
Together, Levine
and Schneiderman have successfully combined the
visual and performing arts in what was once a
culturally underserved area. By working with
community partners such as Homestead Main Street
Association, the Seminole Theatre, and Miami
Dade College in Homestead (to name only a few),
ArtSouth seeks to bring to the Homestead and
Deep South Dade area a long-lasting quality
cultural arts resource that appeals to all ages,
abilities and interests.
