THIS IS OUR STORY

In a world cluttered with fleeting trends and transient attention, the story of the Miami International Fine Arts (MIFA) emerges as a beacon of enduring creativity and cultural transformation. Imagine, if you will, the year 2019, a year not unlike any other, where the relentless pursuit of innovation seemed to overshadow the timeless value of art. Yet, it was within this very year that a group of visionaries — Teresa Jessurum Uribe, Elkin Canas, Milixa Morón, Carlos Martínez León, and Gilberto Uribe — came together with a shared dream that was anything but ordinary.


Their dream was simple yet revolutionary: to harness the transformative power of the arts to reshape culture. This dream led to the creation of MIFA, a unique sanctuary where art wasn't just observed but lived and breathed, a place where students could dive deep into the ocean of artistic expressions and emerge with treasures of insight and creativity.


Fast forward to 2023, under the guidance of Marco Caridad as the Artistic Director, MIFA Gallery blossomed into a vibrant hub of artistic expression. Picture a space strategically positioned between the Miami International Airport and Doral, unfolding like a visual odyssey across six meticulously curated exhibition spaces. From an enigmatic underground room to galleries bathed in sunlight, MIFA Gallery became a canvas for masterpieces that didn't just challenge the status quo but sparked profound dialogues and insights.


At the heart of MIFA's story is a commitment to nurture the voices of emerging contemporary artists and create a harmonious space that fosters creativity, innovation, and continuous learning. It's a story of how a collective dream can become a legacy, transforming MIFA into a lighthouse of artistic exploration and community engagement amidst the vibrant cultural landscape of South Florida.


This narrative isn't just about the birth and growth of an art institution; it's a testament to the enduring power of vision, collaboration, and the arts as a vehicle for cultural metamorphosis. As MIFA continues to weave its story into the fabric of South Florida's cultural tapestry, it invites you to be part of its journey. Experience the latest cultural vibe in the city with us, for we are MIFA, where art lives, breathes, and transforms.
