The Deering Estate at Cutler will host the opening of 10,000 Years of Miami by Deering Artist-in-Residence John W. Bailly, an FIU professor and artist. The exhibition consists of 25 paintings displayed in the historic Stone House and two open studio spaces, a perfect setting to explore the history of Miami, revealing how popular perception of Miami and the authentic reality of Miami are divergent. Bailly’s “10,000 Years of Miami” is the artist’s humble effort to remind us of who we are, from a historical and environmental perspective. Through richly-layered paintings he depicts natural elements and transatlantic cultural commonalities. Bailly is represented by ClampArt in New York. Free and open to the public.
