The Beaux Arts Festival of Art is back! Come experience Miami’s longest-running juried art festival on January 15-16, 2022 from 10am – 5pm outside of the Watsco Center on the beautiful University of Miami campus. The 71st Annual Festival will feature over 150 fine art exhibitors, a children’s art tent, food and live entertainment. This free outdoor community event is ideal for all art enthusiasts, offering artwork in a variety of media and price ranges. The festival is proudly presented by Mercedes-Benz Ussery Automotive Group. Guests are encouraged to register for the free event by visiting www.beauxartsmiami.org.
Beaux Arts was founded in 1952 by a small group of women and has grown to an organization of over 100 active members and 300 associates with a common purpose, to increase art appreciation in the community and support the Lowe Art Museum. The festival continues to be run entirely by these philanthropic volunteers, and is co-chaired this year by Beaux Arts Vice President Monica Sanchez and Katherine Caskey.
About Beaux Arts
Beaux Arts is a volunteer organization whose purpose is to encourage an understanding and appreciation of the arts in South Florida through outreach programs and support of the Lowe Art Museum. In 2014, the organization donated to the Lowe Art Museum a gift of $1.5 million which enabled the creation of the endowed position of Beaux Arts Director and chief curator of the Lowe Art Museum, now held by Dr. Jill Deupi. Having won the “White Award”, Beaux Arts was recognized as the University of Miami’s most effective donor through its combined contribution of over $7 million in funds to support the Lowe. Beaux Arts has supported over 25,000 children at the Beaux Arts camp and over 5,000 students from the Miami Dade public school system with its annual HandsOn! program.
