The idea grew into a gathering place for our friends, mostly artists in their own rights, to showcase their current work and preview concepts. We made it official in 2010 when we opened a public space in Wynwood. Today in addition to being Eleazar's personal art studio, we host local talents and leaders who need a professional environment to showcase, educate, and enrich the community at large. www.eleazardelgado.com About the Art/Work Connections Program The Art/Work Connections program is a monthly series of business seminars held at galleries and art spaces around South Florida targeted at artists and those working in the arts.
