Locust Projects announces an open call to South Florida high school students for a chance to participate in a collaborative exhibition at the organization’s 2,700 square foot exhibition space in Miami’s Design District. In furtherance of the organization’s thirteen-year commitment to providing an approachable arts venue for the South Florida community, for the second year, Locust Projects will select fifteen students to participate in this unique initiative.

Students will collaborate in conceiving and executing an original artwork and/or installation under the professional advisement of contemporary artist, Monica Lopez de Victoria of the TM Sisters collaborative. The goal is to promote contemporary art and project based learning as a means to encourage creativity, critical analysis, and problem solving, while building communication skills. Dates: Weekdays, June 22 – July 8, 2011, Public Opening Reception: Saturday, July 9th, 7-10pm. Deadline: April 1, 2011 – applications must be received by 5pm
