Every year the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum features works by students graduating from the Master of Fine Arts program in the College of Communication, Architecture + The Arts at Florida International University.
This year, the museum is featuring the work of Dianna Grace and Elizaveta Kolesnikova. Grace is informed by immersive spaces and engages in innovative experimentation with materials. Kolesnikova s current work presents Peruvian cultures and traditions. This annual exhibition is a part of the Frost Art Museum s continuing support of FIU s art curriculum.
Experimentation has led me to my current “portals” concept. The energy within my work focuses on movement and space that represent gateways, entrances, or doorways. I am fascinated with the concept of traversing dimensions through openings and creating a moment for the viewer. My sculptural installations consume the viewer using light and shadow to create an engulfing environment.

Strolling along Miami Beach and Miracle Mile, you may have noticed some new local art galleries and exhibitions that have recently popped up some from FIU alumni artists, including Chris Friday MA ’20, James Herring ’81, MA ’13 and Yi Chin Hsieh MFA ’20, to name a few!
In an effort to bring more local art and culture to the community, Miami Beach Arts & Culture created the Miami Beach Open House, a residency program where accepted artists are assigned a vacant area to bring one of their creative projects or exhibitions to life for one month. Echoing the same idea, the Business Development office of Coral Gables created a similar program, allowing artists to open pop-up shops to be used as creative places for three months to work on their art.
