FLY | BUY
In 2009, DCOTA launched a creative bi-monthly initiative entitled
Fly|Buy. The program tapping top
designers across the state and
now nationally, invites 50 top
designers based from outside the
tri-county South Florida region to
visit and experience its campus,
and explore the resources found
exclusively within the design center. The DCOTA is known as the
mecca for tropical and international
design enthusiasts and home
owners and hopes Fly/Buy will
lure national and international
designers looking for this point of
view.
In collaboration with select sponsoring showrooms, designers are
funded to fly into Fort Lauderdale,
stay at their choice of the
Sheraton, Harbour Beach Marriott,
or the chic new W Hotel at exclusive rates, enjoy special perks and
events, and shop DCOTA. In
return for their visit, Guest
Designers are reimbursed for
travel expenses*. The initiative
has received an overwhelmingly
positive response from jet-setting
designers and showrooms alike.
Through this program Designers
were introduced to showrooms
they would have never before considered, learned about services
they didn’t know were available
and shopped for their clients.
One designer from New York had
just signed a new client with a
homes in Fort Lauderdale and
Ocala (just north of Orlando). On
this trip the designer was able to
research and shop for his client in
one stop with all expenses paid.
New York-based designer Harry
Daniell exclaimed “I was excited to
be nominated for the program. I
was able to leverage a trip to a
warm climate with the opportunity
to shop for my Florida based project. I found some great local products and formed relationships with
the showrooms for my Florida
based clientele. Amazingly, I even
found a product for one of my NY
based projects while roaming
around the DCOTA.”

Summer Art Exhibitions
ROMERO BRITTO: Instant Messaging
Britto's vibrant expressionist sculptures in the DCOTA Atriums possess clean, bold, and colorful imagery that deliver strong, poignant social messages in a refreshing and upbeat manner.
These messages stem from the international Pop artist's focus and dedication to charitable
community activities through his eponymous foundation.
The Britto Foundation, established in 2007 allows Britto to lend his time, resources and talent
to nurturing children and youth with education and literacy programs in under served communities. Britto's generous charitable contributions and activities range from art education, helping
to protect and preserve the Brazilian rainforest, assisting the mentally ill, or funding research for
AIDS. Britto also supports the following charities: Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation, Best
Buddies International, Brazil Foundation, Keep Memory Alive and St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital.
Britto’s commissioned works are familiar to South Floridians as his work is found on Fort
Lauderdale buses, at the MiamiChildrens Museum, housing complexes, parks, and Metro-Rail
stations. He is internationally recognized for his Absolute Vodka bottles, the Hurricane Katrina
logo advertisement, Disney posters, Beaujolais Nouveau wine labels, and even a painted Volvo.
Britto’s work was recently included in an exhibiton at the Louvre and his work is in the private
collections of Dustin Hoffman, Andre Agassi, Senator Ted Kennedy, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Oprah Winfrey, Gloria Estefan, Martha Stewart, Prince Albert of Monaco and Michael Jordan.

PURVIS YOUNG: The Outsiders
Purvis Young is one of the most important self-taught artist to have emerged in the 1980`s.
Young had little art instruction while in Raiford prison in the 1960’s and his earliest works
reflect a style that predates the raw energy and direct assertiveness of his mature work. Young
rejected the training he received and opted instead to operate from gut instinct, using materials found in the streets of Overtown, Miami`s inner city. The label “self-taught” best describes
his method of working and in "The Outsiders" he invites the work of other artists whose work
resonates with his own art.
Young’s work, like the work of the other great self-taught artists of the 20th century, such as
Bill Taylor, David Butler, William Edmundson, Horace Pippen. and William Hawkins results
ultimately from his emotions and an aesthetic system that implements these powerful feelings.
The most comprehensive collection of work by Purvis Young can be viewed at Gallery 721,
Ft. Lauderdale or visit www.gallery721.com. Works are Courtesy Gallery 721 with special
thanks to Larry Clemons and Bill Withers.
