Saturday, September 24th from 6-10pm join us at the Historic Villa Paula Gallery and Museum for the opening reception of Gateway to Collecting: Affordable Works on Paper. The magnificent art venue, Miami’s original Cuban Embassy built in 1926, is mounting an intriguing group exhibition of drawings, watercolors and mixed media works by such prominent artists as Jose Bedia, Cundo Bermudez, Mario Carreno, Roberto Fabelo, Gay Garcia, Wilfredo Lam, Victor Manuel, Antonia Vidal, Francisco Zuniga and more. Local artists are also represented, including works by Johanna Boccardo, Joe Chirichigno, Tomas Esson, Thomas Kachian, Richard Kurtz, Masplata and others.

There is a special magic to works on paper; consider the fact that Leonardo Da Vinci only completed a dozen paintings. His true genius was displayed in the thousands of drawings he made. Villa Paula is dedicated to educating the novice collector about the various mediums and techniques associated with drawings. At the opening, many of the artists will be on hand to discuss their approaches and there will be a presentation by a conservator on the restoration of old master drawings. Guest Speakers: Jorge Hidalgo and Fidel Lopez will discuss art conservation, restoration and proper techniques of high quality framing.

Free to the Public/Free Parking. Open Daily: 11am-7pm
