ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM

Since 1949 , the Florida Artist Group has held a symposium and a members' exhibition each year in a different Florida city. Its educational and other cultural aims are advocated at these meetings through lectures, panel discussions, films and exhibits. In addition to the Symposium and Exhibition held in the Spring, Area exhibitions and meetings are sponsored at other times in various places in the state. The nature of these meetings follows, in a small way, the character of the Spring meeting. They also serve to bring the members of the organization more closely together.

JURIED SHOWS

To insure an annual exhibition of exceptional quality, the show is juried. The organization always brings in an eminent Juror from out- of- state who is prominently associated with art administration, education or a painter or sculptor of national repute. Past locations of Exhibitions have included the Norton Gallery, Ringling Museum,

Cummer Gallery of Art, the Jacksonville Art Museum, Miami Metropolitan Museum and the Lowe Museum, University of South Florida, University of Florida, Rollins College, Daytona Museum of Arts and Sciences and many other outstanding galleries.
