The relentlessly enthusiastic Bank of America investment adviser-turned-emerging artist advocate is making moves in the art world with his company KiptonART, the host of last night&amp;#039;s party at the Cohen Design Center&amp;#039;s D&amp;amp;amp;D building. The KiptonART Rising program debuted in 2008 at Art Basel Miami, and every year since they select six promising, up-and-coming creative talents to be equipped with the resources needed to enhance their visibility in the art world. This year&amp;#039;s lucky six, chosen from twenty finalists whose work will be on display on the ground level of the Andrew Martin showroom for the next month, will be exhibited around the county at three other Cohen Design Centers in Miami (November 2010), Los Angeles (March 2011) and Houston (April 2011).

Photo: Billy Farrell  The most exciting part of stewarding this year&amp;#039;s Rising program for Cronkite, &amp;quot;was the diverse range of mediums exhibited, including photography, painting and sculpture.&amp;quot; Cronkite continues, &amp;quot;I also really love seeing the lives of artists improve and having the opportunity to give the most talented ones a chance to reach a new network of buyers, gallery owners, and patrons. The momentum that KiptonART is experiencing after 5 years of growth is encouraging. Overall, the Rising program has helped establish a path for future art stars in the art world.&amp;quot; Of all of the fantastic feats of creativity\u2014twisted steel sculptures, recycled wood towers, and haunting photographs\u2014exhibited yesterday, Cronkite is particularly excited about William T. Hillman&amp;#039;s photogram &amp;quot;Alchemy.&amp;quot; The piece measures 94&amp;quot;x77&amp;quot; and has given Cronkite &amp;quot;a unique, new perspective on photography.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
