A History of Celebrating Excellence in Florida Art (66 Years with No Plans to Retire)
Purpose:
The Florida Artists Group (FLAG) was incorporated in 1949, as a non-profit organization of professional artists. Made up of artists whose work has attained national or state-wide recognition, the purpose of the group is to stimulate attainment of the highest standards of creative art within the State of Florida.
Annual Symposium:
Since 1949, the Florida Artists Group has held an annual symposium in conjunction with a members’ exhibition in a different Florida city. Education and other cultural aims are advocated at these meetings through lectures, panel discussions, films, demonstrations and workshops.
In addition to the symposium and exhibition, area exhibitions and meetings are sponsored in various places in the state. The nature of these meetings follows the character of the spring meeting. These meetings also serve to bring the members of the organization closer together.
Members’ Annual Exhibition:
The annual exhibition is juried for awards which are presented at the awards banquet held as part of the Symposium. FLAG hosts an eminent artist, educator, curator or museum professional to act as juror and keynote speaker at the Symposium.
