Art After Dark: Mexican Flaming Heart

A hands-on ceramic workshop explores the Mexican Sacred Heart motif through color, ornament and personal interpretation at the Doral Cultural Arts Center. The session takes place Thursday, September 17 as part of the City of Doral’s Hispanic Heritage Month programming, with participants painting a Mexican Flaming Heart ceramic inspired by the traditional Corazón Sagrado. Guided instruction and all materials are provided.

Associated with devotional art throughout Mexico and Latin America, the Sacred Heart is often depicted surrounded by flames and embellished with flowers, rays, crowns or other symbolic details. Participants can adapt the motif with colors and decorative elements reflecting their own style while creating a finished ceramic piece to take home.

Registration is $15 and space is limited. No previous art experience is required, and free parking is available at the City Hall Parking Garage until 9 p.m.
