Altís Little Havana is expected to welcome first move-ins later this spring.
The artist chosen will be selected based on the quality, originality, creativity, workmanship and artistic distinction of their portfolio. The Call for Local Artists is now open to all established and emerging artists working in 2D art mediums, including but not limited to photography, digital art, painting, drawing, printmaking, paper art, fiber art and mixed media, which can be displayed using a traditional gallery hanging system.
