For the 12th year of its ArtWorks Internship Program, Arts for Learning/Miami (A4L) is looking to hire 100 students from Miami-Dade County, Broward County, and beyond Florida to participate in a paid artistic internship of their choice. During the six-week internship, interns learn new arts skills, apply techniques, and work on developing projects in their artistic discipline. Students also benefit from learning life and workforce skills such as financial literacy and professionalism while also receiving individualized college advisement sessions. "Last year, we received a tremendous amount of interest in the program, especially with the addition of two new co-ops. This artistic opportunity is truly one of a kind, and watching nearly 100 young people create, collaborate and flex their imagination under the direction of our fantastic teaching artists never gets old." Ivy Bennett, Program Director The program culminates in a splendid showcase of all the interns’ works, from spoken word, to dance, and animation videos. Program Info: 2024 Participant Goal: 100 Students Paid internship for high school students (9th - 12th graders) Artistic Disciplines / Internship Co-Ops: Animation, Architecture, Film, Creative Writing, Dance, Music Production, Theatre, Visual Art Program Location: TBD Internships are facilitated by local teaching artists, who are also industry professionals and/or professors. Student Work Samples: 2023 Film Production Co-Op, short film playlist: click here. From Students & Teaching Artists: “It's allowed them [students] to bring in their own inclinations and interests into their thoughts and kind of disrupt some of the boundaries that the [artistic] discipline sets up. I wish I had something like this when I was in high school; just a way of being able to explore all these creative outlets and to meet people from other schools.” - Gabriel John Paul Sumar, ArtWorks Teaching Artist, Harvard University Architecture Masters Student “My first ArtWorks internship made me really happy because it helped me grow my confidence a lot and I learned leadership skills that will help me in the future. This year…it’s more like the technical aspects of animation which I’m super happy for, so I’m growing in my craft, but also making great friends and having a good time.” - Rachel, Animation Co-Op Intern “Here, I have learned that I need to be more patient, especially with myself and with other people who are trying to learn new things. We’re also learning how real jobs work, getting paid and setting everything up like bank accounts and cashing checks.” Zen, Dance Co-Op Intern About Arts for Learning Miami Arts for Learning (A4L) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing teaching and learning through the arts.

When you think of Miami, the first thing that pops into your mind are the bustling cafes, glorious blue waves, lush beaches, and vibrant city life. The vast city of Miami Florida is so much more than the above-listed, and anyone across the globe can have the city's eclectic vibe copy-pasted into their homes. The city's genuine nature and aesthetic have been reflected numerous times throughout the world, and if you wish to incorporate the sleek Miami-style interior design, we have a few alluring ideas to help you out. Read on to discover some of the majestic Miami-inspired design styles and how you can implement them into your lovely home. Image by GWG Outlet The Sophisticated Elements In a plethora of Miami houses, the very first thing you would spot is a mix of rustic and modern extravaganza. The design tends to perfectly blend the modern elements with a hint of organic and natural beauty elements. The reason behind this notion is the marvelous coastal climate and weather that draws residents to use white hues for the wall palette to open up the spice and let plenty of natural light in and then furnish the house with sophisticated furniture and high-end artwork. The focus is on luxe marble flooring and bright details around. Image by Oak Motion Bringing The Outside In The climate in and around Miami is absolutely to die for, and it's no wonder that plenty of homeowners have included the outdoors as a part of their overall Miami interior design style. This includes having large top-to-bottom floors to let the sun in and to overlook the splashing waves (or their yachts). Also, luscious plants and planters dominate the living room, as well as having primarily off-beat white and beige wall hues with a pop of color in the decor. Anyone can easily mimic the dazzling white walls and furnishing inspired by the beaches, but pay attention to the windows. The weather in Miami is dreamy, however, you cannot expect to have such beautiful Miami weather all year long, and you had better find insulation for sale and secure your windows, walls, roof, and floors. Opt For Sprucing Vibes It's no secret that Miami has a unique history that is mainly inspired by Ernest Hemingway's journeys, ocean, sun, and sand. Add the infusion of Latino culture, and you will have a sprucing style like no other on the planet. For that matter, play with accents and incorporate fabulous prints that would give out eclectic vibes. The decor should deliver a feeling of being at sea at some neverending party. Place playful ornaments, colorful rugs, and brilliant jewel-toned patterns for cabinetry, sofas, and ottomans, and keep the upholstered pieces in metallic color but blend them with timidly plush fabrics for instance. Image by archiVIZ Enhance Wide Open Spaces Miami is also about freedom and soaking up the sun, and what better way to incorporate such a vibe into your interior design than by opening up the space in your house? If necessary, knock down a wall separating the kitchen and the dining room to create a wider open space and make an amazing kitchen island with a white marble countertop and contemporary stainless steel utilities. If the place allows it, you can invite the Miami interior design style by opting for large glass doors to the patio or balcony. The key is to let lots of natural light and airflow in and enhance your inner space to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Image by Mirror Image Studio Posh Up Accents When it comes to furniture, the overall design exudes a minimalist approach: wide plain king-sized beds, low-profile, masterful sofas, and sleek sideboards. Given the fact that the walls are mainly painted in pure white or other plain hues, highlighting the accents and other elements ought to be the top priority if you want to evoke Miami style into your interior. Think 80' retro Miami vice era, place simple but striking accents such as a golden vase or a hand-crafted gold silhouette on the table. Refurbish the mantelpiece and hang a vintage gold mirror with immaculate details, and similar. Follow these sensational key features, and you will undoubtedly evoke Miami's interior design style in your home. By ML Staff. Images courtesy of Adobe Stock & Unsplash
