ArtsUnited, a nonprofit gay and lesbian arts organization and the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Miami presents NAKED. ArtsUnited was founded in 1999 in response to the growing need of local LGBT artists for an interactive and supportive working environment.
Using the literal theme of NAKED as being without clothing or covering; nude and bare of any covering, overlying matter, and vegetation, NAKED exhibits various subject matters that include the nude form to abstraction without the customary covering of protection in thought and material. Artists included in the exhibit include Sean Black, Diane Lublinski, Richard Viola, Maciel Cantelmo, Greg Little, Michael Jude Russo, Dennis Dean, Chris Lopez, Allen Pierce, Jennifer Maria, and Henning Haupt.
