KX2 Studio Video + Recent Installations + Upcoming Events and Shows

Hello Friends, Colleagues and Fellow Art Lovers, As we step into the new year, we wanted to share a quick update from the studio and a new video that offers a look at what we've been working on recently. The past months have been full, with a lot of time spent developing new ideas and pushing the work forward. This video captures a bit of that process and the direction things are moving. Looking ahead, the year is shaping up to be a busy one, with several fairs on the horizon, upcoming shows in new markets, and a growing list of commissions underway. We're excited about the momentum building as the year gets underway and look forward to sharing more as things unfold. ~ Dana & Ruth CLICK TO WATCH Local Studio + Art Walk Invite Arts and Culture Center Hollywood, FL January 17, 5pm For those of you local to South Florida, Dana will also be participating in the Downtown Hollywood Art Walk this Saturday as part of her residency at the Arts and Culture Center.

NSU Art Museum presents Teen Exhibition: CALL FOR TEEN ARTISTS!

CALLING ALL BROWARD TEENS: ANNUAL TEEN ART EXHIBITION

Submission Deadline: 2/6/26 at 12 am Opening Reception: 3/5/26 at 5 pm Location: NSU Art Museum

Calling all Broward Teen Artists! Want to see your artwork displayed in an upcoming exhibition at NSU Art Museum? Submissions are now open for the third annual Teen Art Exhibition at NSU Art Museum, Lost & Found. Submit your artwork through our digital application by February 6th to have your work considered for exhibition and for a chance to win prizes! Lost & Found is a dynamic celebration of the fleeting, the forgotten, and the rediscovered, showcasing the vibrant creativity of teens from diverse backgrounds. In this annual exhibition, we explore the delicate balance between what slips away and what reappears, celebrating the beauty in both loss and discovery. Each piece invites viewers into a world where hidden treasures of imagination, personal memories, and whimsical moments come to life through the eyes of young artists. The works on display in Lost & Found offer a glimpse into the unique ways teens interpret the process of finding and losing. The exhibition captures the magic of youth in transition, where moments of clarity often emerge unexpectedly amid the chaos of growing up. Whether through photography, sculpture, painting, or digital media—teens reveal their stories of what has been lost and what has returned, often in forms they could never have anticipated. Through moments of wonder, whimsy, and insight, these works highlight the power of art to bring what is forgotten back into focus, offering a visual representation of how we navigate our personal histories, dreams, and desires. Lost & Found is a testament to the resilience of creativity, and a reminder that sometimes, the most profound discoveries are made when we least expect them.
