The ARC: PURVIS YOUNG exhibition from The Martin Siskind Family Collection

Friday, September 18th from 6 – 9pm enjoy the Opening Reception and an Art Panel (Q&A) for the PURVIS YOUNG exhibition ‘Deictic Articulations: The Art of Purvis Young,’ featuring selected works from The Martin Siskind Family Collection at The ARC (Arts & Recreation Center) in Opa-Locka presented by Ten North Group. The O&A features Curator Dr. Adrianne Von Lates.

This show pays homage to the extraordinary legacy of Purvis Young, an artist whose work has indelibly shaped the history of Miami’s art scene. The exhibition encompasses a selection of works from the collection of Martin Siskind, a close friend and long-time supporter of the artist.

From his earliest years, with his Goodbread Alley street display of hundreds of small paintings, it was Young’s ambition to share his work with as many people as possible. His images cry out to be savored by a large audience, not locked up in storage. (…) Visitors to this exhibition will be beguiled by images that look as fresh as the day they were painted. They remain forever Young. -Dr. Adrianne Von Lates
