Life Is Art Official Call for Artists
Life Is Art Block at Art Deco Weekend 2015

We are very excited to announce that The Miami Design Preservation League has invited Life Is Art to host a local art show within their 38th Annual Art Deco Weekend! On January 16th, 17th, and 18th, Life Is Art will have an entire block of Ocean Drive to fill with amazing artists from South Florida. With an annual draw of 300,000 attendees per weekend and coverage in all the major press, this is an excellent opportunity.

Life Is Art is creating our very own “Art Zone” within the Art Deco Weekend Festival called the LIFE IS ART BLOCK! All of our artists will be gathered into the block between 11th and 12th Streets on Ocean Drive, the Art Block featuring only local artists. Thanks to the Miami Design Preservation League, we can offer a special price for local artists, lower than any of the other vendors at Art Deco Weekend! Plus, a portion of the booth fee goes to support Life Is Art, so we can bring you even more programming throughout the year.

Spaces are limited, so buy your booth soon!
