PHILADELPHIA, PA.-Returning from an exciting sojourn to the Miami art fairs, Projects Gallery presents Back from Miami II, showcasing artists represented in the international fair. During the month of January, Projects will be giving Philadelphians the opportunity to experience the art fair vibe here in their home town. This multi-artist exhibition will be on display from Friday, January 4 through Saturday, January 26, 2008. There will be a First Friday reception January 4th from 5 to 8 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public.

Continuing its mission to promote outstanding contemporary artists to a wider audience, Projects Gallery exhibited simultaneously in two art fairs during Basel Miami: Red Dot and Bridge Miami. Since the gallery’s inception, Projects has been an active participant in international art fairs and enjoys a well-earned reputation. The artists that Projects represents show a personal expression of a figurative nature in their work, each utilizing unique and unorthodox approaches to their subject matter and medium. This year featured artists include: Henry Bermudez, Jim Brossy, Susan Howard, Frank Hyder, Florence Putterman, Alex Queral, and Caleb Weintraub, along with other gallery artists.

Displayed in a casual salon-style hanging, Back From Miami II celebrates the vibrant collective energy of the art fairs in a gallery setting. Having presented their artists to an ever-expanding clientele at the largest international art fair in the United Sates, Projects proudly brings the experience back to their loyal local audience and new viewers. Whether internationally known or emerging, each of the Projects artists display an individual language that provides a distinctive and provocative dialog. Back From Miami II is the perfect opportunity to rediscover the high-caliber of talent all over again.
