Young designers and artists will take over the charming, tropical Piccadilly event space in Miami’s Design District on Thursday, November 2nd and invite the community to enjoy their thought-provoking and inspiring art at DASH-EXPO. The showcase, curated by Arts Department Chair Johan Evers, will include student work from all students and grade levels, as well as the 2023 Young Designers Scholarship Fund (YDSF) Student Exhibition.
PTSA has worked hard to curate an exciting auction of gifts, experiences, food and dining as well as collectibles in a silent auction.
Lively music from Classical Guitarist Joseph Fernandez will provide a creative vibe, and an assortment of sips and bites will be available for purchase. Proceeds from the show will support the Fine Arts Department and the DASH PTSA.
The artwork by these talented, up-and-coming artists will be on display for one night only at 35 NE 40th Street, Miami Design District, 33157. Dacra, a real estate development company and long-time supporter of DASH, generously supported DASH-EXPO by providing the space at no cost for DASH students to transform into a gallery of masterpieces. The space once was the former home of the popular now closed Piccadilly Garden restaurant.
DASH Student tickets with ID are just $10 and adults are $25 available online at https://dash.memberhub.com/
