South Florida Cultural Consortium Visual and Media Arts Fellowship Awards Exhibition

The Art and Culture of Hollywood is honored to present for the first time in its 30+ year history, the exhibition of winners of the 23rd Annual South Florida Cultural Consortium Visual and Media Arts Fellowship Awards.

The recipients were selected during a two-tier panel process which included the participation of regional and national arts experts. Selection by the regional panel was anonymous and based solely on the quality of the artists’ work as evidenced by digital images, slides, or video/films submitted. 

The regional panel included: Francie Bishop Good, Visual Artist, 2010 SFCC Recipient, Broward; Wendy Blazier, Senior Curator, Boca Museum of Art, Palm Beach; Denise Delgado, Miami-Dade Public Library System, Miami-Dade; Irvin Lippman, Executive Director, Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale, Broward; Rene Morales, Associate Curator, Miami Art Museum, Miami-Dade; and Glexis Novoa, Visual Artist, 2010 SFCC Recipient, Miami-Dade. The regional panel forwarded their recommendations to the national panel, which included: Dina Deitsch, Associate Curator, DeCordava Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, MA; and Cheryl Hartup, Chief Curator, Museo de Ponce, Ponce, Puerto Rico.

The South Florida Cultural Consortium Visual and Media Artists Fellowship Program is a cooperative project funded in part with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts, the Florida Department of State Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Arts Council, the Boards of County Commissioners of Broward, Miami-Dade, Martin and Monroe counties, and the Palm Beach County Cultural Council.

The South Florida Cultural Consortium, an alliance of the local art agencies in Martin, Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties, assists visual artists and media artists through cash awards solely on the basis of creative excellence to foster artistic development and encourage career advancement.

Formed in 1985, the Consortium operates under an inter-local government agreement to coordinate projects and share resources for the growth of South Florida cultural activities, organizations and artists. It provides regional cultural planning, new project development, statewide cultural marketing, information sharing, regional arts education training and support for ethnic and rural audience development.
