Cultivated Under The Sun, Something Old, Something New, “is just a sampling of what’s in the library’s art storage, on the inside walls of its buildings, and in the case of Culmer / Overtown Branch, on its exterior walls (Miami artist Purvis Young did the mural). It’s the Library’s way of paying tribute to a community that accepted a fresh idea. Confirmed it, and provided the backing for it to flourish and multiply. By those means the Permanent Art Collection of the MDPLS is a true reflection of the interest of this community, how it grew to know visual art, to support it, to buy it and to give it away for the public good.” – Helen Kohen
