Collect Art, in Community

On April 10, we found ourselves at the intersection of First and First at perhaps one of the most contentious of civic spaces. Guided by Amanda Sanfilippo Long, Curator and Manager of Art in Public Places and Director of the South Florida Cultural Consortium, we explored new commissions—many of them by Commissioner artists—at the Osvaldo N. Soto Miami Dade Justice Center.

Miami-based multidisciplinary artist Alexandra Fields O'Neale was commissioned the University of Miami Center for Global Black Studies to create a textile sculpture and light activation on campus. Titled Strange Celestial Road, the site-specific installation curated by Dejha Carrington is now open through May 2027.

Diana Eusebio, our second commissioned artist of Season Eight, welcomed more than 120 members and friends to her first institutional solo show, Field of Dreams, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami. Relive the reveal in photography.

Diana Eusebio is a Peruvian-Dominican textile artist based in Miami, whose artistic practice is centered on color and its cultural significance. Our second commissioned artist by Season Eight members, she invites us to explore the meaning of home in this special video portrait.
