From April 2 through 5, 2012.
Miami Dade College’s (MDC) North Campus educational renaissance marks a renewed emphasis on the arts with the presentation of the Miami International Festival of the Arts, being held April 2 through 5, 2012.
The Festival features four days of visual arts, concerts, dance recitals, theatrical presentations, book readings and movies that all highlight the outstanding talent of MDC’s students and faculty and special invited guests, who represent various art forms and genres.
