Maitejosune Urrechaga: Snabbit Reception
Nov 30, 2026
From: Noon - 2:00 PM
Soft sculptures of rabbit-snail hybrids wearing roller skates explore childhood nostalgia and play in the work of Miami-born artist Maitejosune Urrechaga. A reception with the artist takes place Monday, November 30, at Miami Dade College’s Padrón Campus Art Gallery. Presented by the Museum of Art and Design at MDC, the Miami Art Week gathering celebrates her first solo exhibition in Miami.
Urrechaga’s handmade “snabbits” incorporate materials from family members and other sources, giving each creature individual features. Their roller skates reference her own enthusiasm for skating, while their varied sizes and personalities reflect her interest in dolls and imaginative play. Her broader practice encompasses visual art, comics, film and music, including her role as bassist and vocalist in the Miami duo Pocket of Lollipops.
Admission is free, and refreshments will be served. Registration is available through Eventbrite. Free parking is available in the campus surface lot at 2501 SW 6th Street.
