Ana Clara Silva graduated from Tulane University in 2007 and moved back to Miami to begin her career just as the redevelopment of neighborhoods like Wynwood and the Design District were beginning to shape the city as we experience it today. While pursuing a master’s degree in Arts Administration & Policy (SAIC / MA, 2011), she focused on what kind of affect the private art collection spaces in Miami have on the public and how they help to form an opinion about art within the city. Silva’s interest lies in the relationship artists have to the development of community and how the arts can play a role in contributing to the city’s infrastructure. Her previous work with both the Rubell Family Collection and the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO) have all owed her to create invaluable relationships with members of the art world along the way while working on the development of number of exhibitions. She had worked on various editorial projects and is currently working on Adiós Utopia: Dreams & Deceptions in Cuban Art since 1950.
