Go-Go’s Jane Wiedlin performs with Miami Artist Beatriz Monteavaro at Exhibition Opening Night!

Beatriz Monteavaro
This piece by artist Beatriz Monteavaro depicts the Go-Gos' about to rescue Adam Ant, Bela Legosi and Gary Numan as they're trapped in the Notre Damn cathedral with zombies.

The work of Miami-based artist and musician Beatriz Monteavaro is distinctive for its densely drawn narrative images and environments.  It’s also distinctive for its representation of pop culture icons including Gary Numan, Adam Ant and the all-women new wave band The Go-Go’s. A retrospective exhibition of her work titled “Beatriz Monteavaro:  Vacation,” opens Jan. 16 at the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery at Florida Southwestern State College in Fort Myers. 

The show includes several never-before-exhibited works by Monteavaro.  Tonight’s exhibition opening will also include a performance by Monteavaro and Go-Go’s guitarist and founding member Jane Wiedlin.  We’ll talk with Monteavaro, Wiedlin and Rauschenberg Gallery Director Jade Dellinger.
