By: Coral Gables Museum The ARTcycle theme this year is “Cyclists Matter,” and its aim is to bring a clear public message that bicycling culture is important to Greater Miami and that cycling contributes positively to communities and should be embraced as a key component of positive urban development. Cycling enables people to travel from one place to another. And it helps foster a sense of community among people, who cycle for exercise, leisure and travel. A jury composed of ARTcycle founders Giselle (Gigi) Delgado and Tachi Llamas, Principal of The Street Plans Collaborative Anthony Garcia and Coral Gables Museum Director Christine Rupp and Director of Programs Caroline Parker Santiago, chose to exhibit the work of 30 local artists after issuing a call for artists. Artwork was selected based on concept, execution, and alignment with this year’s theme. The entries consist of large outdoor sculpture, video animation, photography, painting, and mixed media. “The Underline: Make It Yours,” exhibit explains the vision and progress behind the local movement to redevelop and enhance the M-Path. Complementing the exhibit is a bike tour of The Underline on May 17 led by Meg Daly, founder of Friends of the Underline. This year’s featured ARTcycle artists are H. Allen Benowitz, Martin Casuso, Mariano Costa Peuser, Clara Echavarria, Axel Font, Tessie Globe, Danilo Gonzalez, Cristina De Guillot, Lauv Grosso, Holly A. Jones, Maria Carolina Keener, Rudolf Kohn, Teje La Araña, Beju Lejobart, Carolina Molina, Janet Mueller, Anabel Peicher, Maria Esther Quintana, Edgar Ramos, Gioconda Rojas, Raquel Rub, Benjamin Saint Maxent & Adrien Blanc, Alejandra Salazar, Cesar Santaló, Aida Tejada, Jasna Tomasevic, Antonio Ugarte, Arlette Varon, Lucy Varon and Barbara de Vries.
