Alida Anderson Art /Projects Gallery space at MIA 2010

Opening on January 06, 2010, the Miami International Art fair (MIA) and a number of Washington Glass School artist were featured and did exceptionally well. The art fair, held at the Miami Convention Center, showcased the WGS artists in “The Next Generation Pavilion” a curated section of young artists who are emerging on the global arts scene. The invitational pavilion showcases artists exploring art and culture using a wide range of innovative media including electronic installations, video, light and sound as well as more traditional materials. Represented by Alida Anderson Art and Projects Gallery, each of the WGS artists had tremendous interest and sales!

Here are some images of the pavilion:

Tim Tate’s electronic and glass artworks generated both sales and museum interest.

Tim Tates videos contained within his reliquaries were also projected on the wall – this one stars WGS artist Kirk Waldroff – whose cast glass prints are showing at NOVA’s Waddell Art Gallery.
