"Rehearsal for an Exhibition" is set to be a landmark event in South Florida's vibrant art scene, conceived by the visionary Mirta Gómez del Valle. This unique exhibition, hosted at the iconic Sailboat Bend Lofts in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, is an artistic tapestry woven with the creativity of South Florida's finest artists.
