Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden
Art At Fairchild: A Monumental Sculpture Garden
Featuring: Fernando Botero, Dale Chihuly, Mark Disuvero, Kris Martin, Daisy Youngblood
My vacation was too quick like most vacations are, but I did end up taking in a little bit of the Miami art and culture. I would recommend to anyone visiting Miami, The Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. The garden is breathtakingly beautiful, filled with exotic plant life and interesting sculptures. I particularly enjoyed Fernando Botero and Dale Chihuly’s work. These two artists had various sculptures coexisting with the stunning plant life.

I also visited ArtCenter South Florida, as stated on their website “ArtCenter/ South Florida provides subsidized studios on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach to artists in all stages of career development. ArtCenter’s Artists – in – Residence benefit from low cost studio spaces, teaching and exhibition opportunities, and cooperative facilities.” This was an interesting way of seeing up-close just what artists in Miami are working on there were many different mediums being used and many different styles represented, some of the ones that really caught my eye include; Hanging On and Holding Out a featured solo installation by Jody Servon, Other artists that have studios there that were especially interesting are; Jill Hotchkiss, Rakel Bernie, and Karim Ghidinelli.
