Collect Art, in Community

On May 8, we gathered at YoungArts for the artwork unveiling of commissioned artist David Correa. The evening begin in the Frank Gehry-designed gallery, where YoungArts artists-in-residence Catherine Camargo of QUEUE Gallery welcomed our extended community. On the plaza, Correa’s play, The Life and Death of Bluegill Prime, unfolded. Relive the moment through photography.

On April 10, we found ourselves at the intersection of First and First at perhaps one of the most contentious of civic spaces. Guided by Amanda Sanfilippo Long, Curator and Manager of Art in Public Places and Director of the South Florida Cultural Consortium, we explored new commissions—many of them by Commissioner artists—at the Osvaldo N. Soto Miami Dade Justice Center.

Miami-based multidisciplinary artist Alexandra Fields O'Neale was commissioned the University of Miami Center for Global Black Studies to create a textile sculpture and light activation on campus. Titled Strange Celestial Road, the site-specific installation curated by Dejha Carrington is now open through May 2027.

Diana Eusebio, our second commissioned artist of Season Eight, welcomed more than 120 members and friends to her first institutional solo show, Field of Dreams, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami. Relive the reveal in photography.
