Miami

Art Basel made Miami a global capital of contemporary art. Two miles from the fair, in neighborhoods built by Cuban, Haitian and Latin American families, most children still have no art class. We teach them in the branch library down the street free, after school, every week.

5 branch libraries
20 students per class, maximum
4–18 ages welcome, grouped by age
Admissions

First come, first served.

Classes cap at 20 students so every child gets real time with the artist. There is no application, no fee and no audition.
