GOOD ART ELEVATES US. IT AWAKENS OUR SOULS.
A piece of art has unique power to lift the human spirit, delivering beauty, hope, meaning, and passion to those who live and work in its midst. At Anne Irwin Fine Art, our goal is to connect each of our clients with art that inspires them. To that end, we are unwaveringly committed to providing the best in both customer service and in quality, maintaining close and positive relationships with our clients and artists alike.
Anne Irwin Fine Art was founded in 1985 by artist Anne Irwin. Over twenty five years later, the Miami Circle gallery is one of the Southeast’s most highly regarded destinations for collecting fine art, representing over 40 emerging and mid-career contemporary artists from all over the U.S. Our work spans a variety of genres and mediums, enabling us to meet the needs of a diverse clientele, but is held together by our artists’ shared competence and commitment to work that is visually stimulating and uplifting. Our clients appreciate our warm, un-intimidating environment, our regular, Friday night exhibitions, and an ever-rotating inventory that allows collectors to view new work and stay on top of trends in the market. It is our goal to ensure that collectors, designers, and consultants alike consider our professionalism, client care, and devotion to our trade unmatched.
We look forward to connecting you with just the right piece of art. Click here to tell us how we can help you get started.
