The exhibition is being presented by Turnberry for the Arts, Aventura Mall’s dynamic cultural initiative combining contemporary art and education, and sponsored by the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum, located on the Modesto A. Maidique FIU campus in South Miami. Jacqueline Fletcher, director of Turnberry for the Arts, said the innovative program will allow hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life to enjoy artwork in a non-traditional way.
“We’re excited to launch this wonderful collaboration that brings community exposure to talented art students,” Fletcher said. “The art is fun and whimsical.”
According to Carol Damian, director and chief curator for the Frost Museum at FIU, the selections were narrowed down from about 35 submissions based on how the art complements the Aventura Mall environment.
“The students were enthusiastic about the project and found it quite challenging,” Damian said. “We’re thrilled to partner with our art department at FIU, Turnberry for the Arts and Aventura Mall.”
