The city of Doral is celebrating International Women’s Day with an art exhibit showcasing the talents of female artists. It highlights diverse works from those of various backgrounds, emphasizing their artistic achievements and cultural contributions. The event, which closes today, aims to honor and uplift women’s voices through creative expression by providing a platform for these artists.  

It features a wide range of artistic styles, including striking paintings and thought-provoking sculptures. Each piece tells a unique story, exploring powerful themes such as empowerment, identity, and the representation of women’s bodies. Visitors have the opportunity to engage with artwork that reflects the experiences and perspectives of women, making the exhibit both visually captivating and deeply meaningful.  

“I didn’t know that this activity was here, but it was really incredible to find it and see that through art you can learn about life and the passion that all these women share,” said exhibit visitor Luis Cruz.

The exhibit serves as an interactive cultural experience for the community. To complement the exhibit, the Doral Cultural Arts Center organized a series of events throughout this past weekend. Among these activities was a painting class led by professional lifestyle coaches, aimed at encouraging artistic expression and personal growth.  

According to exhibit employee Raquel Bonsfills, the event is a significant initiative in celebrating women’s achievements and fostering discussions about their role in the arts. By hosting this exhibit and its accompanying events, Doral continues to support female artists and inspire the community to appreciate the power of women’s creativity and resilience
