  • Noche de Arte: Full Circle

    Full Circle: The collaboARTive Origin Story
    Jean Blackwell Font & Ignacio Font at Gallery 100

    Noche de Arte | November 2025 | InterContinental Miami

    This November, Noche de Arte returns to where it all began—with the artists who started it all. Co-founders Jean Blackwell Font and Ignacio “Iggy” Font bring their creative partnership full circle in an intimate exhibition that reveals the origin story of collaboARTive through their individual works.

    Full Circle celebrates the journey from two artists sharing a vision to a thriving community of 400 artists and a movement that has touched thousands. Through Jean’s exploration of inherited memory and Iggy’s meditation on transformation and renewal, the exhibition explores the themes that sparked collaboARTive in 2017: connection, accessibility, and the transformative power of creating.

    For Jean and Iggy, what they do and say through collaboARTive is integral to the work they make. The organization embodies the same philosophy that drives their art: everyone has value, everyone has meaning.
