North Beach Art Gallery invites you to its February Exhibition on Thursday, February 20, 2025, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at 3334 NE 34th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308. The event features award-winning Miami-based artist Rosaria Vigorito and a live performance by classically trained pianist and vocalist Jake Luger. Proceeds will benefit North Beach Art and Charity, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization supporting local arts and community initiatives.
Rosaria Vigorito, an award-winning Miami-based artist, has made a remarkable transition from her former career as a New York lawyer and law librarian professor to establishing herself in the art world. Holding an MFA from the New York Academy of Art, Vigorito's distinctive style features mosaic-like fragmentation, raw emotive lines, and vibrant colors, exploring themes such as the female form, portraiture, and the inner psyche. She exhibits her local and international work across various venues, including art fairs, galleries, government institutions, and museums. She perceives her role as an artist as a messenger, philosopher, outlier, and empath, aiming to provoke thought and evoke emotion through her creations.
The evening will also feature a live performance by Jake Luger, a classically trained pianist renowned for his dynamic keyboard skills and soulful vocals. With a repertoire that spans classic rock, blues, and beyond, Luger has captivated audiences both locally and internationally. His versatility and passion for music have made him a sought-after performer, promising attendees an unforgettable musical experience.
