After more than a decade, New World School of the Arts’ visual arts division has curated an impressive exhibition showcasing more than a dozen artworks from established Latin American artists.
The pieces in “Selected Works from the NWSA Collection” were chosen from a growing collection of donated artworks that includes more than 100 pieces. Bequeathed to New World School of the Arts by art collectors and renowned Latin American artists, the collection is carefully and safely stored in an off-site vault location and has only been open to the public twice in the past.
Artists exhibited include Antonio H. Amaral (Brazil), Enrique Campuzano (Chile), Benjamin Cañas (El Savador), Siron Franco (Brazil), Maria Martinez-Cañas (Cuba), Miguel Padura (Cuba), and Guillermo Trujillo (Panama).
Selected Works from the NWSA Collection opened on Nov. 17 with a reception. It’s at the New World Gallery, 25 NE Second St. Lobby. The show, on view until Jan. 26, 2024, is open free to the public. More information at 305-237-3620.
Fern Palmas, who co-curated the show alongside O. Gustavo Plascencia, dean of Visual Arts at NWSA, explained, “We have embarked on a journey into this treasure trove, carefully unpacking, documenting, and archiving this extensive collection. This meticulous process, spanning over four months and ongoing, is a testament to the dedication we hold in preserving and honoring the artistic legacy bestowed upon us.”
