Organization:
Thp Vnlf'anni.An-llTTT
Project title: 2007 2003 lt8all~1l ltlOl"94..1a
Completely describe Project approved by the Grants Panel and in a separate narrative detail the
revisions to the Project based upon the award. Please be as specific as possible; name of event,
venue, times, etc. Also, detail the organization's participation in Second Thursdays. Miami Beach
Anchors should list specifics about their mentoring program.
The projects approved by the grants panel include the exhibition The Visual Front: Posters of the Spanish
Civil War, the exhibition From Emperors to Hoi Polloi: Portrait of an Era, 1851-1945, and ongoing updates to
our permanent collection exhibition, Art and Design in the Modern Aae.
Visual Front opened September 19, 2002 and recalls the period between 1936 and 1939 when a civil war was fought
in Spain between the democratically elected government (Republicans) and rebel forces. Propaganda posters
constitute one of the most poignant documents that remain from the Spanish Civil War and the exhibition examines the
critical role played by posters in the campaign launched by Republican forces to denounce the military revolt. Numerous
public programs are planned for this exhibition including lectures by Paul Preston from the London School of Economics,
speaking 911, The Coming of the Spanish Civil War, and Cary Nelson, University of Illinois, who's talk is titled, The
Culture of the Last Great Cause.
From Emperors to the Hoi Polloi: Portraits of an Era, 1851-1945, opening at The Wolfsonian-FIU December 5,2002, will
explore the role that individuals have played in shaping our mod.ern culture. Culled from The Wolfsonian's rich collection
of fine and decorative arts, it will include traditional portrait paintings, and sculptural busts, social and political caricatures
found in periodicals, medallions, and porcelains. An array of educational and public programming will complement the
exhibition. The opening of Portraits of an Era will coincide with Art Basel, the world's foremost international art fair that is
again making plans to launch its Miami Beach debut at the Convention Center December 5-8. Art Basel will feature
work from approximately 150 galleries in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia and will draw a large national and
international audience to the area. We hope to count on American Express's commitment in what promises to be an
innovative exhibition and programs schedule geared to take full advantage of an energized and increased arts audience.
In Pursuit of Pleasure: The Hotel in America, 1875-1945, opening in 2004, will explore the important role hotels played
in the development of American culture in the early twentieth century. This exhibition will draw primarily from The
Wolfsonian's archives to reveal how architects created opulent and fantastical environments as escapes from everyday
life. This exhibition will incorporate extensive partnering with hotels in the greater Miami area to create an interactive
walking tour for museum and area visitors. Area hotels that feature prominently into the exhibition include the Biltmore
in Coral Gables, and the Breakers in Boca Raton.
The Wolfsonian will also undertake many initiatives and programs designed to serve a variety of audiences including
youth education. The Wolfsonian I Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) Museum Education Program reaches
out to a largely underserved population throughout Miami-Dade County. Nearly 2,000 school children participate in this
program annually; on average, children come from schools with less than 10% English proficiency and with more than
75% participation in the reduced lunch programs. Participation in this program has grown almost 200% in the last three
years.
Children's programs not directly affiliated with the public school system include Family Fundays (4/yr), these free family
'educational events include hand-on projects, special group tours and live performances and Family Workshops (5/yr),
smaller, intense hands-on workshops for children and accompanying adults.

Education and Mentorlng:
The Wolfsonian / Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) Museum Education Program
reaches out to a largely underserved population throughout Miami-Dade County. Nearly 2,000 school
children participate in this program annually; on average, children come from schools with less than 10%
English proficiency and with more than 75% participation in the reduced lunch programs. Participation in
this program has grown almost 200% in the last three years.
The MDCPS Museum Education Program also supports the multidisciplinary collaborative project
called "A Page at a Time," involving The Wolfsonian, teachers from MDCPS, and five fifth-grade classes
from five different local schools. "A Page at a Time," utilizing the museum's collections, invites students to
examine the relationship between historical events, how they were interpreted by artists and designers in
the past, and to connect this new understanding to contemporary issues such as the prevalence of
intolerance and the power of design to influence and persuade. Under this program, children work
collaboratively to produce books of illustrations and writings that address examples of conflict and
resolution in their everyday lives. Upon completion of the project, The Wolfsonian exhibits these works in
the museum and invites the parents and students to view the finished products together. During the
reporting period, 679 fifth-graders took part in this intensive program.
Children's programs not directly affiliated with the public school system include Family Fundays
(4/yr), these free family educational events include hand-on projects, special group tours and live
performances and Family Workshops (5/yr), smaller, intense hands-on workshops for children and
accompanying adults. This past summer the museum also provided a free four-week camp, Made to
Move, based on the theme of transportation and the See America exhibit for children financially unable
to participate in other camp programs.
The Artful Truth-Healthy Propaganda Arts program (www.artfultruth.fiu.edu/at2001/artfultruth.html)
pairs the museum's intellectual capital, rich propaganda collection, and new technology and design to
address a core social/public health issue. Its innovative curriculum, graphics and website has directly
impacted over 100 educators and 8,500 students in 106 schools, and community and arts organizations in 26
of Florida's 67 counties; another 63,000 students were indirectly reached through student exhibitions and
performances. Artful Truth established an institutional and professional standard for education programs for
children and visual literacy. By June, The Florida State Department of Health will distribute this educational
curriculum to all 1,300 elementary schools in Florida.'
