Heads up, art aficionados and casual perusers alike: The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery at 601 City Center Way is rolling out the red carpet for a new exhibit where permanence is indeed a fleeting concept and the beauty is in the evanescent. The show, "Ephemeral Construction," stitches together the work of four South Florida-based artists who lay it all on canvas (and other mediums) from February 8 to May 18. Don't strife, admission is zero and parking's a cinch – also gratis.

If your Friday night calendar for February 8 is as empty as a minimalist's living room, consider adorning it with an opening reception that runs from 6 pm to 9 pm, the gallery will treat guests to some freeloading delight with refreshments and hors d'oeuvres on the house, no wallet bites. This shindig isn't just about grown-up banter over canapes, families can add this gig to their all-age-friendly outings.

The fab four - Alejandra Abad, Deborah Perlman, Nathalie Alfonzo, and Sharon Lee Hart - each add their shade to this kaleidoscope of 'impermanence', as nobody's territory they carve distinct paths in the art world but somehow they crisscross beautifully, weaving a tale as old as time about the transient yet impactful impression we stamp on life and the environment, yes, but also the impressions that life and environment stamp on us.

For those itching for more deets, tap your browsers to The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery’s announcement or flit through social snippets and peeks of past gaieties like 'Candyland' and 'Elemental' on the gallery's Instagram page, while they do not provide a digital equivalent of the experience they sure do dish out a sizzling teaser of what's to come. It's a dash of culture with a sprinkle of community spirit, and it's all going down at The Frank, where art isn't just displayed, it's lived; join the ride, why don't you?
