How Love for Art Can Transform a City | Rosa de la Cruz | TEDxKeyBiscayne

Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz let us peek into their lives to show us how their love for art has grown over the years and how they have managed to spread it all over the city. They are part of the vanguardist crowd responsible for making Miami a mandatory stop for art collectors. Their love for art is infinite and they are determined to make sure it transcends in time through youth programs and scholarships which encourage art students to travel and get involved with the visual arts. Rosa and Carlos are icons of our time, game changers who have given Miami a new identity by sharing their own passion for art. Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz’s collection has been listed by ArtNews in the top 200 collections in the world, the 30,000-square-foot museum in the Design District impresses as a vast repository of challenging art, with galleries teeming with paintings, sculptures, and installations of well known contemporary artists. But in addition to being a showcase of biennale-ready work, the collection is also a testament to a powerful civic vision. They incorporate art to facilitate education and cultural exposure. Rosa and Carlos started scholarship programs in partnership with the Knight Foundation for art education to benefit students from New World School of the Arts to travel abroad to Europe and China, and Design and Architecture Senior High to attend pre-college programs at SVA and Parsons in New York. Thus, they have helped over a thousand students pursue art education, exposing many students who have never been outside of Miami to other cultures. Their museum is open 5 days a week, year round free of charge. And after Covid, they hope to resume their lecture series and summer workshops for grade school students, which are also free. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
