Gala Corina- began in 1999 as a group of architects and artists who had
a desire to show their work, but wanted to remain outside of the
traditional gallery structure. The group was unified in an understanding
that all artistic endeavors are related to each other through the
creative spirit, and today Gala Corina holds annual exhibitions every
November to support and promote local artists working in painting,
drawing, architecture, furniture, photography, sculpture, and
performance art. Gala will feature works by local artists selected
specifically for Booty.

taking the temperature of the local contemporary art scene via virtual
gallery. Scheduling exhibitions three times per year at local
businesses, this selection of Sarasota artists Katranis promotes,
practices art making that reveals, complicates, or distills mainstream
working methods. For more information on Pure/Impure, please contact
Nick Katranis at detroitup@comcast.net
Fluff Constructivists -Since 2000, the Fluff Constructivists have
existed as a collective and collaborative art group, with core members

medium and content, but a primary conceptual function of the group is to
offer gestures of goodwill, as well as the ongoing exploration of what
it means to experience a "new" moment. For more information about the
Fluff Constructivists, please contact Mikel Durlam at mkldrlm@yahoo.com.

local and national talent in this realm. "The
Other Worlds" will showcase Enee Abelman's installation " My Father's
House" a meditation on her father's life and
origins, Maria Emilia's "Que Me Quiten Lo Bailado" an environment which
questions the situation surrounding the death
of sculptor Ana Mendieta, Marie Yoho Dorsey will create an environment
