The 2016 Beaux Arts Festival at the University of Miami in Coral Gables was especially good this year. The exhibiting artists were diverse and the works were of high quality. The Beaux Arts Festival celebrated its 65th year. For the children there was face painting and balloons with fun designs. Beaux Arts provides support to the Lowe Art Museum by assisting with art acquisitions, contributing to the museum’s ongoing operation and educational programing.
