Tamiami Trail Exhibition

Friday, May 31, 10 to 6 p.m.

Bailey Contemporary Arts

41 NE 1 St.

Pompano Beach, FL, 33060

Bailey Contemporary Arts (BaCA) presents “Tamiami Trail: In the Beginning,” an exhibition of original artworks by members of the Miami-based Tropical Botanic Artists collective. The botanical subjects were selected to mark the 100th anniversary in 2015 of the start of work on Tamiami Trail, a roadway begun in 1915 in Miami. Today, it stretches across the Everglades from Miami to Naples and northward to Tampa, through areas that were largely wilderness a century ago. The exhibition’s more than 30 plant portraits depict species found then and now in multiple vegetation zones along the route. Due to human intervention and changes in water flow, some of the plants illustrated are rare or endangered, and their predominant locations may have shifted, but all persist in South Florida’s landscape.
