Lucia Morales Artist Reception

Join MOAD and Lucia Morales at MDC's Kendall Campus Art Gallery for a reception celebrating Morales's artist residency.

Throughout the summer term, Morales will create new work and engage with students, campus groups, and members of the public.

Lucia Morales is a Peruvian artist who lives and works in Miami. Born in Lima, Morales moved to United States with her family at a young age. Influenced deeply by her cultural heritage, she seeks to reconnect to Ayacucho­, a city nestled in the Andes Mountains, where her family is from.

Refreshments will be served.

Free parking is available in the MDC Campus parking lot adjacent to the art gallery.

The Museum of Art and Design (MOAD) at MDC may document the event, including its attendees. By entering the area, and/or participating in the event, you consent to the recording and its use in any form.

MOAD is proud to offer artists resources, support, and space to create in Miami. This artist residency will also invite the public to step into the studio and observe and interact with the artist at work, promoting conversations about process, multidisciplinary artmaking, and the role of the artist within learning institutions.

MOAD's programs are made possible with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners. They are sponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture, and with generous support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The Miami Herald is a media sponsor of MOAD's programming.
