Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board celebrates PINK Art Fridays in Downtown, Miami in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

 

MIAMI – The Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board (HAAB) under the Office of Community Advocacy invites you to continue the celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. On Oct. 12, Art Friday in Downtown, Miami will also be celebrating October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month as the artists participating will be dressed in pink and offering live paintings. The event will take place in the lobby of the Stephen P. Clark Center, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Art Fridays in Downtown, Miami consists of a pop-up art exhibit and cultural showcase, featuring local artists, live music, entertainment, cultural presentations, and art workshops. HAAB is collaborating with the artists and the consulates in Miami-Dade County to bring together a cultural display in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month to highlight the diverse population of our community. Art Fridays in Downtown, Miami will continue every second Friday of the month until December 2018.

During the month of October, you will see a mural of 37,000 recycled bottle caps turned into art. The exhibit took three months and seven artists to create it. The message of this art expression is to remind all of us to reduce, reuse, and recycle non-biodegradable material as a way to contribute to the conservation of our planet. Take a photo in front of it and use the hashtag #tapitaproject.

For more information, please contact Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board Director Natalie Milian at 305-375-5098.

The Office of Community Advocacy is charged with making Miami-Dade County "One Community" that embraces our diverse and unique population. Follow @AdvocacyMDC on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter and follow @mdcaaab on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
