Club Headz

The newly opening Girls’ Club may sound like either a gentleman’s joint or an exclusive dive for femmes. But it’s neither. It’s actually an alternative art space showcasing (among its many male and female works) a broad collection of local and national contemporary female artists. The Club (117 NE Second St., Fort Lauderdale) is the brainchild of Broward artist, Francie Bishop Good, and her husband David Horvitz, who had together amassed such a prolific collection of modern art that they just had to share it with all of South Florida. Qué generoso, no? Good’s aim is to spice up the art world in Broward, holding free exhibitions at the Club and hopefully offering educational programs in conjunction with local museums in the near future. They’re also planning to turn their website, www.girlsclubcollection.org, into an extensive hub for art, where local artists will have profile pages with examples of their work.
