Every year in January, the University of Miami hosts the Beaux Arts Festival of Art. It is Miami’s longest-running juried art festival. This festival features over 150 fine art exhibitors, a children’s art tent, marketplace, a beer garden, food and live entertainment. It is a free outdoor community event ideal for all art enthusiasts, offering artwork in a variety of media and price ranges. I was commissioned by the Life at the U team to create an illustrated map of the campus to show the various spots where there will be hosting many of the events exhibits. This was a very fun project with a tight deadline and simplifying this campus map was a great challenge. Everyone was really happy with the outcome. Take a look!
