UM alum Xavier Cortada engages community with art and activism
CORTADA DONATES "OCTOPUS MIAMI" MURAL TO UNITED WAY DURING MIAMI ART WEEK
“We are incredibly honored that Xavier and his foundation selected United Way Miami for this beautiful installation and for giving us an opportunity to be a part of Miami’s renowned art week as well as the conversation around art and philanthropy,” said Symeria Hudson, president & CEO of United Way Miami. “Art has a fascinating way of bringing people together and we look forward to the many conversations this piece will ignite on our campus and within our giving community.”
“This process of discovery, conversation and ultimately mobilization is something that can be replicated in any coastal community to give people a sense of agency and hope in a world that feels so out of control,” says Cortada.
