DE LA CRUZ COLLECTION
Completed in December of 2009, the de la Cruz Collection is privately funded by collectors, Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz. The 30,000 square foot museum, located in Miami's Design District, serves as an extension of the couple’s home where for over 30 years they have shared with the public their passion for art, collecting, and education. Its primary mission is to provide yearly exhibitions with a focus on contemporary art, offering accessibility for audiences at no cost, and supporting the local community through public programming that includes lectures, artist-led workshops, student travel, and pre-college programs. The de la Cruz Collection is not registered as a 501(c)(3) foundation under the US Internal Revenue Code and does not receive government assistance.
01 is an education lab that fosters agency and creative confidence in students by empowering them to shape their worlds through technology. Our programs focusing on introducing students to creative practices in coding, design in 2d and 3d, robotics, virtual and augmented reality, cryptocurrency and cryptography, game design and development and more.
OFFICE GA
Office GA is a Miami-based design and art practice founded by Jonathan Gonzalez, where space, graphic, product, and brand design operate cross-scale, unconstrained by traditional roles. Form, program, and user experience become tools to engage the concerns of the contemporary city, contemporary architecture, and ultimately the contemporary citizen. Lifestyle, economy, fashion, and brand must be developed through careful analysis and playful implementation. Office GA concerns itself with developing new “architectures” through the urban condition; Researching the relationship between object and citizen and the forms that bring life and viability to those encounters.
