Art in the Community

At the Kendall Museum of Contemporary Americas, we believe in the transformative power of art and its ability to unite communities. That's why we take pride in presenting our program "Art in the Community," designed to bring art and creativity to people of all ages and backgrounds in our community.

"Art in the Community" is a comprehensive and enriching program that aims to foster active participation and engagement with art. Through a variety of exciting and educational activities, we strive to inspire imagination, unleash creative expression, and promote cultural dialogue.

Our programming includes a series of captivating exhibitions showcasing works by local, national, and international artists. These exhibitions provide a window into the world of contemporary art, allowing visitors to explore diverse forms of artistic expression. In addition, we offer creative workshops and educational programs that provide participants with the opportunity to experiment with a variety of artistic techniques and develop their creative skills. Our workshops are led by artists and experts in the field, ensuring an enriching and stimulating experience for all participants.

The "Art in the Community" program is also committed to providing an inclusive and accessible space for everyone to enjoy and participate in art. We strive to reach underrepresented segments of the community and provide opportunities for their voices and talents to be recognized and valued. Additionally, our program seeks to establish connections and collaborations with other community organizations, educational institutions, and local artists, with the goal of strengthening ties within our artistic community and fostering cultural exchange.

"Art in the Community" is more than just a program; it is a call to participation and the discovery of the beauty and power of art. Together, we can create an environment where art flourishes, connecting people, transcending borders, and creating a sense of belonging in our community.

Geometric Abstraction

Curated by

Jorge Rodriguez Diez and Pedro Hernandez

February 23th, 2023 - May 24th, 2024

Geometric Abstraction is a thoughtfully curated exhibition paying tribute to the extensive career of an artist of Pedro Hernández's stature. He is among the Cuban artists who arrived in the 1960s and, despite the inherent challenges, seamlessly integrated into a society that was vigorously growing and constantly redefining its identity. While Pedro practiced as a medical professional his entire life, he consistently created stunning pieces of art with remarkable regularity. He forged a parallel career in the art world that, due to its excellence and volume, might lead one to believe he dedicated himself solely to being a professional artist for over fifty years.

El charco y la curva

Curated by

Ariel Orozco

January 19th - February 17th | 2024

Ariel Orozco, curator of "El Charco y la Curva," launched the project after finding the Cuban Circle of Mexico A.C., a hub promoting Cuban art and culture, including politically nuanced workshops and events. Seeing a chance for unity among Cuban emigrants across generations, Orozco proposed an abstract art project to foster dialogue without engaging the space's political aspects. This approach allowed artists with diverse creative methods and interests to coexist in a harmonious, reconciliatory exhibition.
