Last Friday FINKA Realty Group, the South Florida-based residential and commercial real estate company, in partnership with Fundación Don Tomas, a non-profit organization that seeks to fund children’s educational goals, hosted “Art Sees No Boundaries”, an art exhibition destined to benefit the arts programs of Miami-Dade County Public Schools. The goal of the fundraiser was to raise awareness to the local community to keep fine arts programs at Magnet Schools alive and thriving. The event took place at Galleria GUM in the Wynwood Arts District on Friday, Dec. 5, 2014, during the world-renowned Art Basel.
During the exhibition the attendees enjoyed a private cocktail reception that featured a silent auction and a meet-and-greet with famous Argentinean visual artist Claudio Roncoli, Ruben Santurian, Daniela Deladonne, Alberto Echegaray, Ricardo trotti, Gabriela Giampoli and Victoria Rose.
The highlight of the night was the participation of the students from elementary, middle and high schools from the Miami-Dade County Arts programs that were awarded for their participation in the friendly art competition created as part of the event. Sabrina Mendoza Malave, Christina Wu and Jose Manuel Lopez were some of the winners awarded art store certificates for their participation, as well as the honor of having their work displayed in the art wall sponsored by H3 Hollywood at the Galleria GUM and on the website of the event.
