MIAMI: Goya Foods, America's largest Hispanic-owned food company, has partnered with renowned artist and one of South Florida's most vibrant artistic talents, Alexander Mijares. Goya commissioned Mijares to create a one-of-a-kind Goya "Can Sculpture" at the Perez Art Museum as part of Goya's "Pasion es Goya" campaign and PAMM's "Second Saturday" activations.
PAMM is a modern, contemporary art museum dedicated to collecting and exhibiting international art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Just like PAMM, Goya has been looking for ways to bring families together and at the same time help out the community through advancements in education and culture. This is why Goya has partnered with PAMM to host "Free Second Saturdays," a day in which families can go to the museum and enjoy a variety of activities for free. Together, they have created hands-on activities and provided free Spanish tours, making sure that everyone in Miami's diverse population can enjoy a fun day with their families.
On December 9, 2017, Goya Foods unveiled the Goya "Can Sculpture" by Alexander Mijares. The sculpture consists of recycled Goya cans that were turned into a stunning work of art. Goya also provided guests with a tasting of some of their products to be enjoyed while witnessing the unveiling.
"We are beyond excited to see the magic that Alexander Mijares has created with our Goya cans," said Cynthia Chipi, Marketing Director of Goya Foods of Florida. "The exhibition brings people together by combining a strong passion for both art and food."
The sculpture is now available for sale. Goya Foods will also be making a donation of Goya products to charity. The goal is to give back to the people who support Goya and to continue with their commitment to improve the communities where their customers and employees live.
