From the Editor

What a year it has been! We are excited to unveil our new brand with the fresh look of the magazine. This rebranding has been in the works for over a year, developed with the help of our talented university partners from University Marketing and Communications. Our staff, students, volunteers, campus partners, faculty, donors, and the Art Museum’s Membership Steering Committee contributed to our new look. Attendees of our annual members meeting in April got a sneak peek of our new brand, launching with the Fall 2024 exhibitions season. I’d like to thank some key individuals for their professionalism and creativity, particularly Miami’s Director of Creative Services John Rizzo, Associate Art Director Daniel Cimino, and our own Graphic Design Student Assistant Macey Chamberlin. Impressively, Macey’s design was chosen from over 30 concepts developed by the team.

Mentoring students through hands-on experiences is a highlight of my role, and this branding project is a perfect example of the win-win opportunities we offer at the Art Museum. With the final design selected, we are now updating ALL of our materials to reflect the new branding.

Throughout 2024-2025, we hope our new brand identity strengthens the museum’s presence and helps increase awareness, attendance, and memberships. Remember, we are FREE and OPEN to ALL! Located on Miami’s Oxford Campus, our unique building, designed by Walter Netch, reflects his field theory with its many angles and varied views. Our new brand captures this edgy spirit. Explore what’s inside RCCAM and enjoy our diverse collection of over 17,500 works!
