PLACE
Arts for Learning Miami (A4L) is proudly exhibiting student artworks, along with photos of programs in action, highlighting local children and youth, various art styles, and the connection between arts and learning!
Throughout the month of March (2023), for Arts Education Month, our PLACE pop-up exhibits were showcased around Miami-Dade County in places such as cultural institutions, elected official offices, and more. Starting April 22nd – June 30th, PLACE will be on displayed at the Sandrell Rivers Theater for guests and the community-at-large to visit and view.
Dedicated to advancing teaching and learning through the arts, A4L is a non-profit organization and a leading source of arts programs in Miami, providing traditional and arts-integrated instruction, student studio programs, after-school and summer programs, high school internships, and teacher and artist professional development. A4L’s programs augment cognitive, social, and emotional development in children and youth.
The programs also develop creativity, critical thinking, communication, and problem solving skills, as well as promote positive peer relations and cultivate self-efficacy. A4L partners with Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs.

Having been apart of LAS for a few months, I’ve learned how to express myself in my art. My artwork is made from oil pastel and it is a breakfast scene combined with my imagination. Thank you, Arts for Learning and Lewis Arts Studio.
Mikaela
As an LAS participant for almost two years, I’ve learned to step out of my comfort zone and try new things such as new mediums. My artworks are made from graphite pencil and charcoal, they are observational pieces. One is a self portrait and the other is a drawing of a house. Thank you Arts for Learning and LAS.
Cade
During my three years at LAS I’ve learned about all the elements of art, but I love form. My artwork is made of watercolors and it is a still life from observation. My artwork is made of colored pencil. It is about diversity, which is very important to me. Thank you Arts for Learning and Lewis Arts Studio.
Levi
Throughout my three years in LAS for three years I’ve not only improved my own artistic skills, but also learned to use art as a tool to express myself and visualize my thoughts. This particular artwork is made from oil pastels, it is an observational drawing based on a breakfast of life. Beyond art as a whole I believe my time with arts for learning and Louis art studio has allowed me to grow as a person.
