From the Editor

Wow—what fun it has been working at the Art Museum for nearly five years! What I love about the Art Museum (and the arts at Miami in general) is that there is always something new to see, do and learn! This magazine and the opportunities to work closely with students are two favorite parts of my job.

Upon joining our small but brilliant Art Museum team in the Fall of 2011, I was pleased to see the commitment by the team to advocating for the arts at Miami as a core value. One of the ways we did this was by including the many wonderful visual arts venues in the then twice-a-year Visual Arts Calendar. I was thrilled that I could help take the longstanding publication to the next level, transforming it into a story and photo-rich magazine.

Once again, I am pleased to present this new and improved version of the Visual Arts at Miami magazine with a more modern and clean look, tighter copy and larger margins. It has been carefully reorganized to provide a clearer picture of content that pertains to the Art Museum and visual arts happenings at Miami. The highlight of pulling this issue together, aside from the inspiring people interviews, was getting to work hand-in-hand with graphic design alumna, Morgan Murray (MU ‘16) who has been by my side assisting with graphics during all four of her years at Miami.

I hope you enjoy reading these pages and you make it a point to attend many of the fantastic exhibitions and programs available FREE for all.
Sincerely,
