As I love both art and history I really enjoy the story behind this small gallery. Three friends who wanted to start an art gallery came together but it took them 10 years to make their dream come true. In November of 2011 they discovered the historic Woman's Club of Wilton Manors building that was not being used. Robert Gross was able to organize a group of artists to refurbish and repair the building. Wilton Manors invested some money into the project and in July 2012 the result was this adorable little art venue behind City Hall. I came in to see the current exhibit, The Art of Barbie: Homage to a Global Icon. It's ongoing until April 6th. Funding was provided by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as directed by the Broward Cultural Council. I was warmly greeted by the gallery staff. The exhibit is very small but it is free. My favorite part was a Barbie retrospective through the years and an interesting diorama that surprisingly makes you part of the art installation. If you are in the neighborhood enjoying a meal at one of the many restaurants you can easily walk over. I love how a group of artists saved a building and used it to show case the arts which never seems to get the funding it deserves.
Adorable space for talented local artists to display their work!
Great little art gallery! Love their events - good turn out of local Wilton Manors residents, usually food served and nice attendees.
