Studio Vizcaya: The Fruit We Bear

Where Miami comes to create, gather, and glow.

This summer, Vizcaya’s gardens come to light — and you’re invited to be part of it.

Studio Vizcaya, a summertime artmaking tradition, returns to the historic campus under its original format of community-made lanterns and illuminated parades.

Join artist Shawna Moulton for FREE weekend workshops where you’ll help build giant illuminated fruit sculptures by hand. No experience needed. All ages welcome. Then, the July 25th finale brings it all together as nearly 1,000 people carry handmade lanterns in procession from the Village to Vizcaya’s iconic waterfront gardens.

Two ways to join — make something, witness something, or both. Click below to register.
