New Installation of works from the de la Cruz Collection
Tuesday, November 29 through Sunday, December 4, 2011 from 9am to 3pm

Rather than doing a traditional thematic exhibition or creating a dialogue between the individual artists, this year’s overall pattern could be interpreted as a large puzzle that transcends preconceived notions of authorship.

Some of the walls in the space will be installed reminiscent of salon style. At first glance the viewer will be overwhelmed by color and pattern, On closer observation, the pattern dissolves and the individual works reveal themselves becoming more familiar.

The de la Cruz Collection Contemporary Art Space opened in December 2009 in Miami’s Design District. This museum, privately funded by Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz, serves as an extension to their home, where their collection has and continues to be shown by appointment for the past 20 years. Besides exhibiting the collection, this new space has a strong educational programming that includes lectures, artist residencies and student workshops. As an initiative to support the local art scene, Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz established student and artist travel programs as well as scholarships for high school graduates.

Admission and all programs are free of charge year round.
