Purpose:

The Florida Artist Group (FLAG) was incorporated as a non-profit
organization of practicing artists in 1949.  Made up of artists whose work
has attained national or state-wide recognition, the purpose of the
group is to stimulate attainment of the highest standards of creative art
within the State of Florida.

Membership is determined by a jury of current members.  To
apply for
membership, contact
                     
 Membership Chair, Jan Miller.

Annual Symposium:

Since 1949, the Florida Artist Group has held a symposium and a
members' exhibition each year in a different Florida city.  Education and
other cultural aims are advocated at these meetings through lectures,
panel discussions, films and demonstrations.

In addition to the Symposium and Exhibition held in the Spring,
area
exhibitions and meetings are sponsored at other times in various places
in the state.  The nature of these meetings follows the character of the
Spring meeting.  These meetings also serve to bring the members of
the organization closer together.

Members' Annual Exhibition:

The annual exhibition is juried for awards (currently nine) that are
presented at the Awards Banquet held as part of the Symposium.  
FLAG hosts an eminent artist, educator, curator or Museum
professional to act as juror and Keynote Speaker at the Symposium.
