STUDENT ART EXHIBIT TO CELEBRATE COEXISTENCE


January 14, 2004


Student art inspired by the international Coexistence exhibit promoting harmony among the world's people will be on display starting Friday, Jan. 16 at the Miami International University of Art & Design (MIUAD), 1501 Biscayne Blvd.

Sponsored by MIUAD, Miami-Dade County Public Schools and the Dade Community Foundation, the Coexistence Miami Student Exhibition kicks off Friday with a 6-8 p.m. reception at MIUAD. The show is an educational component of Coexistence, an international, billboard-sized outdoor exhibit created by more than 40 artists from around the world.

Now on tour around the United States, Coexistence made its North American debut last November at Miami Dade College's Wolfson Campus. The international exhibit was launched by the Israeli-based Museum on the Seam for Dialogue, Understanding and Coexistence, and is the brainchild of its curator, Raphie Etgar.

Miami-Dade County Public Schools worked with exhibit organizers in training art teachers to lead student field trips to the exhibit at MIUAD, which will showcase student art from all grade levels and 39 schools.

The Coexistence Miami Student Exhibition runs through Jan. 28. For more information, contact M-DCPS art supervisor Ray Azcuy at 305-995-1984.
