MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS EXHIBIT
JOINS MASTER ARTISTS WITH ART EDUCATORS

Exhibit on display at Coral Gables Museum September 6-29, 2013

The Coral Gables Museum is hosting a unique exhibition, “Artistic License,” presented by Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ (M-DCPS) Visual Art Department.  The exhibit will showcase master artists from Miami and abroad, along with visual art instructors who studied under them.  A special opening reception for the exhibit will take place Friday, September 6, 2013, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Coral Gables Museum, located at 285 Aragon Avenue.  The reception is free and open to the public.  The exhibition will be on display at the Community Meeting Room at the Coral Gables Museum through September 29, 2013.

This juried exhibition will provide a rare glimpse into not only the artists’ works in a variety of media, but how they inspire art educators to reconnect with their inner artist after serving as educators in the arts for many years.

Since 2010, M-DCPS’ Visual and Performing Arts Department has been conducting summer mini-workshops with concentrated studio studies funded by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Arts Council, the Miami-Dade County mayor and Board of Commissioners.

The result of this particular collaborative studio environment is a distinct array of works in a variety of media in 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional form. The show will include works by Elaine Abbe, Abdiel Acosta, Ken Arguinzoni, Ray Azcuy, Pablo Cano, Meme Ferre, Charles Humes, Lucinda Linderman, Stephen Mack, Alejandro Mendoza, Melissa Maxfield-Miranda, Shelly McCoy, Scott McKinley, Leslie Mitchell-McKinley, Catherine Rivera, Alina Rojo, Carlos Sanjurjo, and Mirena Suarez.

For more information, contact Mabel Morales, District Supervisor, Visual Arts, or Alina Rodriguez, Curriculum Support Specialist, at 305 995-1930.
