MIAMI – Superintendent of Schools Alberto M. Carvalho hosted a reception last night with Daniel Bottero, founding artist of the Superintendent’s Artist in Residence Program. The reception recognized past contributors to The Foundation for New Education Initiatives, Inc., a supporting organization of Miami-Dade County Public Schools, and welcomed future supporters.

Daniel Bottero, founder of the Bottero Art Initiative, is a talented painter whose works are displayed around the world. Bottero graduated from the National School of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires.  He earned his Master’s Degree at the Academia Italiana di Belle Arti in Lucca, Italy. From 1986 to 1990, Bottero resided and worked in Paris.  Since 1990 he has lived and worked in New York. He currently has galleries in Wynwood and Buenos Aires.
