New Solo Art Exhibit Shows Power of Family

Andrea Sarcos

(Press Release) May 7, 2025 (Lake Worth Beach, Fla.) — The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County’s latest solo exhibition explores one of humanity’s most universal experiences: family.

Featuring photographs by West Palm Beach-based artist Andrea Sarcos, “Remember Me As a Place” includes images captured in the locations of her family’s migration history across Ecuador, Venezuela, and the United States. The exhibition will run Friday, May 23 through Friday, June 27, 2025 at the Council’s headquarters in Lake Worth Beach.

“Remember Me As A Place is how I see myself and my family in all these locations—being a migrant and seeing how our story evolves as we go from place to place,” says Sarcos. “This series shares a deeper understanding of migration and how its roots are poetic, beautiful, and powerful.”

​Through family ephemera and her own photographs including still life, landscapes, and images of family and others, the Venezuelan-born artist showcases how migration shapes relational dynamics, communication, and self-perception. While “Remember Me As A Place” is a culmination of her past, Sarcos says she hopes each viewer walks away with a curiosity about their own family history. All artworks are for sale, and a majority of the proceeds go back to the artist.

“The exhibition reveals a more realistic narrative around migration—including the love and connection they retain even as they move from one location to another,” says Jessica Ransom, director of artist services at the Cultural Council. “Andrea’s work connects us between past and present through her family and their migration experience.”

With a dual degree in journalism and visual art studies, Sarcos’ approach to photography is rooted in storytelling. She has displayed her work across Florida—including Arts Garage in Delray Beach, Hatch 1121 in Lake Worth Beach, and the J. Wayne Reitz Union in Gainesville.

Selected through a highly competitive application process, Sarcos is one of six Palm Beach County-based professional artists whose work was chosen by a committee of visual art professionals for one of the Cultural Council’s coveted Gayle and Paul Gross Gallery solo exhibition spots during its 2024-2025 season.

The solo exhibition is free and open to the public. The Cultural Council will host an opening reception for “Remember Me As a Place” on Thursday, May 22 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The public can view the exhibition in person at the Cultural Council’s headquarters in Lake Worth Beach. For more information or to RSVP to the reception, please visit palmbeachculture.com/exhibitions.
