The streets,
the movement of the Downtown, the presence of a bystander and moving art and
the sense of curiosity it creates a great alternative to satisfy the need
for artists to exhibit their art and for the curious to witness it. That is how it born Art for the Curious:
Walking with their piece of art, the artists show their work to the curious of downtown Miami.
At Art for the Curious´ first edition held on February 22nd, 2011, more than 20 artists showcased their work as they walked around Downtown Miami with their artwork in hand. Different reactions came from the curious on the streets, giving the artists immediate feedback about the artwork.



In its 2nd edition, Art for the Curious (AFTC) looks to present several artistis in the same installation, interactively apealing to the curiosity of the audience.
AFTC Installation Edition is made of by several types of art by different artists. These artworks will be hidden in the installation (for example, some visual art works will be tucked inside boxes, some literaty pieces will be reproduce in small fonts necessitating the use of a magnifying glass to read it, etc.) so that the curious who wish to observe the art will be forced to interact with the installation to "discover" what is hidden behind, therefore, letting their curiosity take over.
