Artists create artworks for a variety of reasons. They may produce art to show the beauty that they perceive, to tell a story, to express thoughts and emotions, to express feelings about the world around them, to educate, to shock, to make you think or just simply for fun. Regardless of the specific reason, artists create For the Love of Art. DAEA artists educate young minds and pass on their knowledge to future generations. This exhibit presents the artist inside the art teacher who creates For the Love of Art.

The Dade Art Educators Association, Inc. is made up of Miami‑Dade art educators, artists, retired teachers and community art leaders invested in the future of arts in education.
