After four years in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, Mindy Solomon, founder and director of the Mindy Solomon Gallery, has decided to make a strategic professional move.
The gallery, currently located at 124 2nd Avenue NE and established in 2009, has enjoyed critical and commercial success, with a loyal local collectors base and national and international clientele. Solomon feels it is time to broaden the market by moving to Miami, “a rapidly growing international city and the gateway to South America.” Having participated in over 40 national and international art fairs, Solomon feels there is more significant growth opportunity for the gallery program and the artists in a larger market. Solomon stated: “I am thankful for my years in the Tampa Bay Area and feel that the arts community will continue to flourish and nurture the growing interests of the collecting community.” Solomon’s current exhibition, ‘The Paintings of Erin Parish,’ on view until September 21st, will be the final show at the St. Petersburg location. Solomon’s next exhibition, the work of Generic Art Solutions, will be the debut show in Miami and is planned for October 16th, 2013, with an opening reception on Wednesday, October 16th from 6-9pm. The gallery’s new location will be at 172 NW 24th Street, Miami.
