Thousands of Miamians will gather at Pinecrest Gardens on Sunday, February 5th from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to celebrate visual and performing arts programs in honor of National Arts in our Schools Month.
South Dade Schools ArtsFest is hosted each year by Pinecrest City Music Project (PCMP) to showcase the artistic achievements of Miami-Dade County Public School students. The event is presented in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, the State of Florida Division of Arts & Culture, Miami-Dade County School Board and Department of Cultural Affairs, and the Village of Pinecrest.
Among the ArtsFest performances will be jazz, orchestral, choral, and band groups who stationed along the Gardens’ winding path through lovely botanical gardens. Visual art will be showcased along the pathway in the outdoor immersive gallery and will feature curated artwork showcasing public school programs from all across Miami-Dade County.
Produced in partnership with the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired, ArtsFest will also feature eight arts-sensory interactive exhibitions aiming to engage children of all backgrounds and abilities in the arts. Miami-based local food vendors will be at the ArtsFest site for attendees to purchase lunch, snacks, and dessert items.
