A juried exhibition by Raphael Clemente, Aaron Wormus,
Katerina Wagner, and Rolando Chang Barrero.
This showcase has brought together three high profile art and culture advocates to assist in choosing the work for the first I Love West Palm Beach Exhibition. When Rolando Chang Barrero shared the idea for the exhibition with Aaron Wormus, the one-man founder, content creator and marketing savant behind #aGuyonClematis, the most popular West Palm Beach-based Twitter and blog, they both knew they were on to something exciting. Soon Raphael Clemente, Executive Director of the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority was contacted. Raphael was thrilled to be a part of the project and served as the juror. Katerina Wagner, the publisher of Miami Art Scene and full-time arts promoter, took wind of the project and enthusiastically joined the trio making it a well-rounded powerhouse project to promote the love of The City of West Palm Beach.
Featuring the work of ten Palm Beach Country artists: Andrew Hollimon, Caitlin Brown, Carla Trivino, Deborah Neuhaus, Jeffrey Wiener, Jessica Alvarez, Juan Carlos Badia Cabero, Kathleen R. O’Neill Schuler, Manon Sander, Jessica Cummings, and Petrina Easton.
"My aim is to choose one photo I feel depicts the state of our society when it comes to civil rights and the protection of minorities or the helpless, while incorporating the common negative sentiment among locals (pulled from public forums, social sites, etc) who say they love West Palm Beach while excluding their neighbors due to their background. The aim is not to shame, rather highlight the hypocrisy of saying you love a city while excluding residents due to their background.” - Carla Trivino
