Miami Dade College (MDC) recently launched a new parking decal for the 2024-25 academic year, featuring the vibrant artwork of renowned artist Romero Britto. This collaboration underscores MDC’s commitment to art, culture and community engagement, with the “I Am MDC” decal serving as a symbol of pride for faculty, staff and students.
“As an institution dedicated to cultural enrichment and creativity, we are thrilled to bring Romero Britto’s iconic art to our college community,” said Madeline Pumariega, MDCp resident. “Britto’s work embodies the optimism, hope and creativity that we aim to inspire in our students every day. Showcasing his art across our eight campuses and now on thousands of vehicles throughout South Florida reinforces our sense of community and cultural vibrancy.”
This partnership between MDC and Britto exemplifies the college’s ongoing mission to enrich Miami’s arts and cultural landscape while providing unparalleled opportunities for its students to engage with world-class talent. MDC also is coordinating exclusive internships with Britto, providing students with hands-on experience in the art world and the opportunity to learn from one of Miami’s most celebrated artists.
“It is my privilege to be able to use my art to serve my community and bring happiness to the students and staff at Miami Dade College,” Britto said.
The Brazilian-born visual artist and founder of the Happy Art Movement has seen his iconic art come alive across Miami’s skyline, sidewalks, parking meters, hospitals and even police cars. Britto’s work has been exhibited in over 120 countries, including the Carrousel Du Louvre and he was the first living visual artist to present his work at the Soumaya Museum in Mexico City.
He is well-known for his many public and private art installations, not to mention the largest in the history of London’s Hyde Park. He also collaborated with Cirque Du Soleil on the opening of Super Bowl XLI, was the official artists for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, ambassador to the 2014 FIFA World Cup and honorary torch bearer and ambassador for the 2016 Olympic Games.
