Local artists chosen to show works at new new Florida Museum of Women Artists

Some local artists will get some major exposure as their work has been chosen to be included in the first exhibition of the new Florida Museum of Women Artists in DeLand. Of the hundreds of applications received, the museum has chosen to include works by Kristin Anderson of Apalachicola and Beth Appleton of Eastpoint. Works by 36 other women artists from Florida will also be displayed. The Florida Museum for Women Artists is the only venue in the state of Florida, and the southeast United States, to provide art and other artistic disciplines exclusively by women artists. The new museum will open its doors to the public on November 14, 2009. The 7,300 square foot space will include three galleries, a gift shop, coffee lounge, meeting / lecture space, and curatorial area. Exhibitions will include contemporary art, collections and traveling exhibits.
