Enviromental Art a Big Sucess!
In this specific project adults & kids use art eco cubes to express the importance of maintaining plants, animals, water and the environment in general and also portray our beautiful nature. The Eco cubes can be painted, sculpted and use it as the main tool to express a message with a positive and educational twist. We are committed to bring projects to the community that bring awareness and to encourage changes to protect our environment.
The Piag Museum presented a unique art exhibition in the form of Floating Cubes. Under an environment al theme, this exhibit now has hundred cubes designed by various painters, poets, sculptors, photographers and also children and youth. Each cube has a unique message related to the conservation of our planet. On January, March & April 2009 participating children artists simultaneously placed their artwork in the schools pond as part of a ceremony dedicated to our planet.
"The event was also presented earlier this year at the Plaza Cascade of The Miami-Dade Cultural Center, Pelican Island and St. Thomas University, this exhibit will travel to over 30 cities, also Public Schools fand Universities from Miami Dade County and participants will be recognized for their efforts.
"It was free of cost for the public and included a complementary brunch and live music.

Art Exhibitions
Art must be experienced in person to truly get a sense of its magnitude and to truly appreciate it. What a better way to expose the artist work and for the public to appreciate it than with Art exhibitions. Many artist are rejected in art galleries because they do not have an extensive curriculum. Piag Museum gives opportunity to artists of all ages to showcase their work considering more their talent, creativity and quality of art work rather than his resume. We will continue to do Art exhibitions and also floating art exhibitions for the enjoyment of the young and old.
