PERMANENT INSTALLATION
“Celebration” by the Miami-based artist Typoe
Have you seen the newest addition “Celebration” by the Miami-based artist Typoe to our beautiful space? Often working with bright colors, bold shapes, and popular culture iconography, in this installation, Typoe’s focus is addressing positivity, nostalgia, and the celebration of life. What once was a transitional space is now a journey to bring immense joy and exploration. An extension of the Schwartz-Jacobs Family Art Gallery on the second floor, this permanent art installation was made possible by the generosity of donors and committee members dedicated to making our community strong, vibrant, and a place of celebration!
