VISUAL ARTS

This month, The Art of Being There, an exhibition by artist John Bowen, opened at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The exhibition, in the Lee Wagener Art Gallery, located at Terminal 2 Departure Level, will run for three months, through July 4, 2011.
John Bowen has lived in South Florida since 1970, and spent 45 years in the commercial art field- the past 30 of those years, painting watercolors. He is a signature member of both the Florida Watercolor Society and the Gold Coast Watercolor Society, and has been published in multiple national and international magazines, including American Artist Magazine and Watercolor Magic.

The Lee Wagener Art Gallery, supported by Broward Cultural Division's Public Art & Design Program and the Broward County Aviation Department, offers Broward artists an opportunity to exhibit their work in a prominent, high traffic area. Artists are selected through the Public Art & Design Program and exhibits are changed every three months. Also on view in the gallery is the public art video, Tree-Rain, a permanent artwork by Broward-based artists Suzanne Scherer and Pavel Ouporov.
