Winner of the Art Sees No Boundaries Contest & Team Real Estate Development (TRED)[17]

 The South Florida real estate firm joined a non-profit organization to help preserve Magnet School art programs for Miami’s youth at the Art Sees No Boundaries fundraiser event

 FINKA Realty Group, the South Florida-based residential and commercial real estate company, in partnership with Fundación Don Tomas, a non-profit organization that seeks to fund children’s educational goals, invited the public to the first-ever “Art Sees No Boundaries” art exhibit which benefitted the arts programs of Miami-Dade County Public Schools. The goal of the fundraiser was to raise awareness to the local community to keep fine arts programs at Magnet Schools alive and thriving. The event took place at Galleria GUM in the Wynwood Arts District on Friday, December 5, 2014, during the world-renowned Art Basel.

Claudia Roncoli“Our goal is to keep Magnet Schools alive because we believe they are one of the few great things that our schools systems can still provide for our children,” said Yansy Checa, Vice President of Finka Realty Group. “The Art Sees No Boundaries event will be celebrated again next year and we are looking forward to continue making a difference in the lives of the children, so that they can realize how important they are to their community”.

Prior to the exhibit’s public opening, the attendees enjoyed a private cocktail reception that featured a silent auction and a meet-and-greet with artists Claudio Roncoli, known for creating vibrant and colorful art pieces that have been used for major advertising campaigns for brands such as Mini Cooper, Marriott Hotels, Samsung, Toyota, Absolut and more.
