One of the organizers of the famous contemporary art fair "Art Basel" in Florida, Craig Robins, decided to set up in Miami at virtually no cost to school, something like "art factory", which will gather young talented people from around the world.

Mr. Robins, who assembled a large collection of contemporary art, hopes that «Art Research», as he named his school will become a place where artists will gather young people from London, Frankfurt, Paris, Bankgoka and New York and Miami will play the role of an international center of contemporary art.

Education in schools «Art Research» is designed for two years and will be virtually free. Artists will be housed on the campus of the University of Miami.

"We have allocated a budget of approximately $ 5 million to cover the costs of the first three years", - explained Mr. Robins. Company Dakra Development, which he is president, will allocate an additional one million dollars.

Mr. Robins, who made his fortune in real estate, is also the founder of the exhibition «Design Miami», held annually in Miami Beach in conjunction with Art Basel fair in Miami, the American equivalent of the largest fair of contemporary art, founded in Basel 29 years ago.

"I want to make the Miami center of culture" - said Mr. Robins. But in order to achieve this, the city should attract young talent, which the city lacks.

The draft will be fleshed out by 2010. About 25 young artists working in all branches of art - from painting to video, stilizma and photographs - will arrive to work under the guidance of an international group of renowned artists, museum professionals and critics, which will include British artist Gilik Liem, an exhibition which was held recently at the Guggenheim Museum New York, and Guadalupe Echevarria, director of the School of Fine Arts Bordo.y

"This program is not designed for traditional training with daily lessons from 9.00 am to 17.00 pm. Education in our school will be individualized and designed for the awakening of a talent ", - added Mr. Robbins.

In January 2012, this collector, who is considered the initiator of real estate boom on the southern coast in 199's. Is going to put his collection in a huge room, which he expected to be built in the center of the future of the quarter of artists in Mayami.y
