Joint Venture for the Art in a Beautiful Neighborhood
Joint Venture for the art in a beautiful neighborhood
By Veronika Pozmentier for Premier Guide Miami
With the Public Library, the Miami City Ballet, the Bass Museum, the superb park and some iconic Art Deco buildings like the Plymouth Hotel (Anton Skislewicz, 1950) and the Governor Hotel (H.Hohauser, 1939) Collins Park neighborhood is one of the most beautiful, interesting and cultural neighborhoods in Miami Beach.
This area has endeavored an important development and in few months welcomed the Gansevoort Hotel, the D.Barton gym, the W hotel, the lounge club Aerobar and now next to Club Mokai a Walgreens Co.shop.
To keep up with an arty and cultural environment and integrate arts into all aspects of the area some important actors have join forces together and the Bass Museum the New World School of the Arts, the Collins Park Neighborhood Association and Miami Beach Arts Trust have entered an agreement to have the Bass Museum produce the Walgreens storefront windows.
Beginning June 2009, the storefront windows at Walgreens began featuring the work of talented young students from the Honors Program of the New World School of the Arts.
Gustavo Cervantes just graduated with a BFA Degree with a major in electronic media is the first to display his work. He took inspiration from the street while being in the Walgreen shop and came up with the idea for "Snapshot #1," that is a large-scale mural depicting a scene of a car crashing into a pole due to a distracted driver braking to look at a girl.
For 2009 students selected for this project are Gustavo Cervantes, Anthony Villasmil, David Garcia and Tatiana Vahan.
Silvia Karman Cubina, Executive Director and Chief Curator of the Bass Museum selected the works of the students and she will coordinate creative collaborations with the art students of prestigious institutions approximately four times a year.
"This is a great opportunity to showcase the young talent of Miami while integrating art into unsuspecting moments in the public's day to day lives" stated Cubina.
And for Maggy Cuesta, the Dean of Visual Arts of the NWSA "The collaboration between the Bass Museum and New World School of the Arts is vital for both of our institutions. The learning opportunities and the exposure to be associated with such an important institution as the Bass is infinite for our students, our visual arts program and our school”
So go shopping or window shopping at Walgreen on 23 rd Street and Collins Avenue to admire art and salute this interesting initiative of different players in the city for the sake of art and the art students from Miami.
