Tuesday, October 16, 6:30 – 8:30 PM

ART, WOMEN, and CULTURE SALON, coordinated by Elle Schorr, meets at The Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach on the third Tuesday of each month from 6:30-8:30 pm, in Studio 101 in the two story building behind the garden. There is a $10 fee to attend.

Giannina Coppiano Dwin’s work is now on view in “Continuum”, the exhibition at Cultural Council of Palm Beach County of work by current and past students of FAU’s MFA program. Her work allows the interaction of time, expressing a desire to transform simple materials into symbols of life’s basic needs. It refers to intimate moments, little rituals, or metaphors that call into play formal aesthetics, nourishment, sensory experience, women’s bodies, and the impermanence of the human condition.

Dwin is a contemporary artist who lives and works in South Florida. She has been the recipient of grants and awards such as the prestigious South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship for Visual and Media Artists funded in part by the National Endowment for the Art, the Women in the Visual Arts Award; as well as, several sponsorships and grants including research in Spain and Brazil. Her work has recently been seen in solo installations at the Project Space –Art and Culture Center in Hollywood, the contemporary wing of the Museo Municipal de Guayaquil, Ecuador; Ornare, Miami, as a collateral event during Art Basel; the Coral Springs Museum of Art, Coral Springs; Illegal Gallery, Florence, Italy. Selected group shows include venues such as the University Galleries, Boca Raton; Whitespace at the Mordes Collection, 18 Rabbit Gallery, Ft. Lauderdale, Duncan Gallery, St. Petersburg, Armory Art Center, Palm Beach; Cornell Museum, Delray Beach; Casa De Espanha, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She has completed a public art sculpture commissioned by the Broward County Cultural Council and the Broward County Main Library in Ft. Lauderdale.
