An annual testament to the state’s flourishing art scene, the Boca Museum of Art’s distinguished “All Florida Juried Competition and Exhibition” will highlight the breadth and creative talent of Florida’s independent artists.

The “All Florida” exhibition will be on display in the Museum’s central galleries from May 8 to July 14, 2013. The state’s oldest statewide annual juried competition in its 62^nd year received submissions from nearly 550 artists from across Florida.

This year’s juror, Mark Scala, Chief Curator at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville, Tennessee, selected 149 works for the exhibition by 122 Florida artists. The 62nd All Florida exhibition will offer a provocative glimpse of the state-of-the-art today through mediums that include paintings, graphics, drawings, sculptures, installations, photographs, computer-generated images, and videos.

“The artists in this exhibition were selected not just because they were the best to have submitted work or because they seemed particularly reflective of place, but because their art could be shown in a museum or gallery anywhere in the world without there being a question of its aesthetic merit,” said Scala.
