David Castillo Gallery is pleased to present DCG Open, a yearly open survey show of artists from South Florida. This year, curators Jane Hart, Curator of Exhibitions at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood, FL and Melissa Diaz, Assistant Director of David Castillo Gallery, invited twenty-eight artists.

DCG Open includes artists working in a variety of media and in various stages of their careers. These artists are contributors to the ever-expanding role of Miami as a leading center for artistic production. DCG Open highlights as with every year’s show, the critical position Miami continues to establish within the international art community.

This group of artists, as impressive as they are diverse, have studied at leading institutions, including New World School of the Arts, Florida International University, University of Miami, Florida State University, University of South Florida, Harvard University, Cooper Union, Rhode Island School of Design, Hunter College, City University of New York, New York University, School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston College, Pratt Institute, Maryland Institute College of Art, and New School University. Many have exhibited at major institutions both nationally and internationally including Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, Miami Art Museum, Frost Art Museum, Bass Museum of Art, Miami Beach, FL, Contemporary Art Museum of University of South Florida, Nederlands Fotomuseum, Rotterdam, the Netherlands, Art and Culture Center of Hollywood, FL, Annenberg Space for Photography, Los Angeles, CA, The de la Cruz Collection Contemporary Art Space, Miami, FL, and the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse, Miami, FL.
