Miami Dade College Foundation, Inc for Museum of Art and Design

Operated by MOAD, Miami Dade College's National Historic Landmark, the Freedom Tower has stood as a testament to the people and stories that built Miami. From its origins as the home of Miami's oldest newspaper to its poignant chapter as El Refugio, welcoming over 400,000 refugees, the Freedom Tower has symbolized the spirit of hope and opportunity that define Miami. This past year, the Freedom Tower reopened its doors after an extensive renovation, with permanent exhibitions including Libertad, Languages of Migration, and Unidad: The World's Game inspiring a new generation with its history and its renewed purpose. The Wolfson Gallery has served as a space for groudbreaking contemporary art exhibitions including We Carry Our Homes With Us, Belkis Ayón and Carlos Alfonzo: Odyssey, and Abstraction as Legacy. While the Freedom Tower continues to serve as a gathering space for programs including Kislak Talks, MOAD Moves, and Freedom Family Days, MOAD has continued to host art exhibitions and art making programs throughout Miami Dade County, activating Miami Dade College campuses in Kendall, Hialeah, and beyond. We are deeply grateful to the many partners, supporters, and members of the community who have helped support MOAD and the Freedom Tower. Today, we invite you to join us in supporting us once again.
