Profile
Galerie Myrtis was established to utilize the visual arts to raise awareness for artists – known or unknown – who deserve recognition for their contributions in artistically portraying our cultural, social, historical, and political landscapes; and to recognize art movements that paved the way for freedom of artistic expression.
The gallery presents approximately six exhibitions per year in which each artist’s creative voice is expressed through paintings, photography, sculptures and new media art with a tendency towards conceptual as well as politically and socially engaged artwork.
Programming includes Tea with Myrtis a series of art salons in which artists, arts professional and legal experts address current trends in the art world.
To date, the gallery has organized over nearly one hundred exhibitions and has had the privilege of representing the work of Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, David Driskell, Curlee Holton, Jacob Lawrence, Delilah Pierce, Lois MaiLou Jones, Amy Sherald, Alma Thomas, and Charles White.
Over the last three years, the gallery has expanded its audience by participating in the following art fairs: Minneapolis Institute Print and Drawing Fair, Minneapolis, MN and Spectrum Miami and Scope Fine Art, Art Basel Miami Beach, Miami, FL.
In 2019, the gallery achieved its goal to establish an international presence with its participation in the Havana Biennial. The exhibition, Building Bridges: The Politics of Love, Identity and Race will feature works by American and Cuban artists. Myrtis Bedolla and Ana Joa are serving as the exhibit curators.
