The Beaux Arts Festival of Art is back!

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.

University of Miami Wynwood Gallery presents Melissa Agnes Tychonievich REMEMBRANCER

 

Melissa Agnes Tychonievich l Wynwood

Melissa Agnes Tychonievich REMEMBRANCER ON VIEW UNTIL APRIL 25  BY APPOINTMENT ONLY University of Miami Gallery  2750 NW 3rd Avenue, Suite 4 Miami, FL 33127   Remembrancer is a Master of Fine Arts Exhibition by Melissa Agnes Tychonievich, featuring a collection of full color, life-sized figurative oil paintings and monochromatic lithographic prints. Using the visual symbolism of their own interpersonal relationships, Tychonievich explores pictorial connections between representational images and non-objective techniques in contemporary painting. She identifies her work as existing between the conceptual binaries of the Representational and the Concrete, each individual painting articulating its own personalized place on this spectrum. As a queer, non-binary person, Tychonievich uses the societal gender binary of Male and Female as a personal allegory in their work, investigating implicit feminist themes of sexuality, identity, and gender expression. ABOUT THE ARTIST Melissa Agnes Tychonievich is a queer contemporary figure painter originally from St. Louis, Missouri. Tychonievich identifies as non-binary in their gender expression, preferring to use both “she/her” and “they/them” pronouns. After completing their Bachelors of Fine Arts in Painting and Art History at the Kansas City Art Institute in 2017, they moved to Miami, Florida in 2018 to pursue their Masters of Fine Arts in Painting. Her work is rooted in the foundational practice of recording perceptual information from observation, specifically figurative drawing and painting from life. Her work has been featured nationally, including at the H and R Bloch Artspace in Kansas City, Missouri; the Old Courthouse Arts Center in Woodstock, Illinois; and locally at the University of Miami Art Gallery in Wynwood. The University of Miami Gallery is open on a limited basis to University of Miami faculty & students. The gallery will remain closed to the general public for the time being. We will continue to monitor the pandemic and follow CDC and University of Miami guidelines closely. Hours are Wednesday - Friday, 10 am - 3 pm. There will be a reception for the artist on Saturday, April 10th, from 6 pm to 9 pm; by appointment only. To schedule a visit, please contact Milly Cardoso, Gallery Director at m.cardoso1@miami.edu, or call (305) 284-3161.

Mexico City: An Enchanting Trip Through Time

The University of Miami Department of Art and Art History presents the online exhibition Mexico City: An Enchanting Trip Through Time by Sean Black. "Given the importance of flattening the curve and the safety and well-being of our students and visitors, the Wynwood Gallery has closed until further notice. We hope you are staying home and practicing social distancing, and are excited to find new ways to engage with art in this challenging time."

"Ever since I can remember, I’ve wanted to visit Mexico City and this past Christmas I finally made this dream come true. Traveling on Christmas Day from Miami, a simple three-hour flight, I immediately set off on my adventure exploring the many breathtaking neighborhoods of North America’s oldest city. A special highlight was a personally guided tour by my good friend and colleague Lecturer here at the University of Miami’s Art and Art History Department, Gerardo Olhovich, a brilliant painter and a native of Mexico City who guided me on a private ghost tour, treated me to epicurean delights of the artsy Coyoacan neighborhood and led me on a stroll through the upscale artist’s colony of San Angel. Mexico city is definitely one of the most romantic and vibrant cities in the world; a splendid and enchanting trip through time." -Sean Black.

Call To Artists: Miami Herbert Business School Art Competition, University of Miami

The University of Miami’s Herbert Business School has announced that a student-led committee will commission artwork for the Business School’s campus. In selecting an artist, the committee intends to give a voice to an emerging artist, showcase local talent and convey the heart and spirit of Miami Herbert Business School. Through the generosity of an anonymous donor, the University will provide compensation for this work.

The selected artwork will be prominently displayed in the ground level foyer of the Aresty building at Miami Herbert Business School in Coral Gables.

Entry is open to South Florida residents from Miami-Dade, Broward, Monroe, and Palm Beach counties. The selected artist must be available to complete the project by August 2020.

Click here for to view/download the artist submission application with additional information.

Potential Theme(s) for the Artwork:

Globalization/International Unity

Miami, often referred to as the capital of Latin America, is believed to be one of the most diverse cities in the United States. Here, people from all walks of life and every corner of the globe come together to create the Miami we know today. In a world where people feel more and more divided, MHBS’s emphasis on “Business Without Borders" brings citizens from over 100 nations together in its integrative academic environment.

Sustainability/Environmentalism

As a tourist destination, Miami is universally known for its lush vegetation, its tropical biodiversity, and the beautiful sands and crystal-clear waters of its beaches. Often referred to as the “ground-zero” of the pressing threat of sea-level rise, Miami and its economy rests upon its ability to remain sustainable. Through the power of business, we can make the changes we seek in society.

Work Hard, Play Hard

If you just drive around downtown, you'll see Miami has one of the starkest contrasts between business and pleasure. Suit-and-tie-clad business people pace around Brickell, while just a few blocks North, some of the most talented, creative, laid-back people inhabit Wynwood. At the University, too, some of the smartest students from around the world come together for a world-class education just a short Uber ride away to Ocean Drive.

Leadership/Scholarship:

Miami is a hub of opportunity. At MHBS, students can be trained in nearly every facet of the business world, with an emphasis on the tech, real estate, and international banking industries. Here, people can become a professional in any of these fields and more and develop the skill-set required of a 21st Century leader.

Interested artists should complete the application in a word compatible document and submit to tesla@miami.edu on or before June 1, 2020.

Selection will be based on ideas and use of themes, prior experience, artist’s relevance to the region and Miami Herbert Business School.

All artists who submit the application for consideration will be notified of the decision on or before July 1, 2020. Further questions should be directed to mnc67@miami.edu. To apply please answer all of the questions on pages 2 and 3 in your application.

“Open New Worlds” at the University of Miami’s Kislak Center

The Kislak Center at the University of Miami Libraries dedicated a new gallery last year in May 2018 and opened with its inaugural exhibition, Open New Worlds: A Journey Through the Kislak Collection, an incredible on-going exhibit featuring two hundred rare books, manuscripts, maps, globes, and artifacts related to exploration of the early Americas.
