Miami Dade College’s (MDC) Museum of Art + Design (MOA+D) in collaboration with the Miami Downtown Development Authority (Miami DDA) presents Tower Treasures: Marché Aux Puces during DWNTWN Art Days, a three-day community celebration of arts and culture in Downtown Miami. Taking place from Friday September 9th through Sunday September 11th, the museum is presenting special programming with a Parisian twist including a curated tag sale, kid’s activities, vibrant live music, French silent films and tasty treats. All events and supporting programs are FREE and open the public.
The grand ballroom of MDC's Historic Freedom Tower comes alive with its first ever Marche Aux Puces - a name originally given to the open air markets in Paris in the 1860’s which specialized in selling second-hand goods. In celebration of DWNTWN Art Days, MDC MOA+D invites the public for a three day family friendly curated tag sale extravaganza being held to benefit the Museum’s educational programming. Kicking off on Friday, September 9 from 5 PM - 7 PM the public is invited to be the first to preview the Tower’s Treasures and shop for fine home furnishings and décor, antiques, jewelry, designer clothing, toys, books and more at deep discounted prices. The tag sale will continue throughout Saturday, September 10th and Sunday, September 11th from 11 AM to 4 PM. Unsold items will be donated to local community shelters.

Presented in collaboration with the Miami Downtown Development Authority (Miami DDA), the Museum’s three-day community celebration is packed with activities for the entire family! On Saturday September 10th from noon to 2 PM, MDC MOA+D invites the public to enjoy the vivacious and energetic New Orleans French Quarters sound of Big Chief Brass Band on the steps of the Freedom Tower! The Museum will also be serving lots of creativity just for kids! Inspired by the great French Impressionists, kids of all ages will get a chance to add their creative spark to our collaborative community art piece that will be on display throughout the weekend. Take a break from shopping and indulge your palate with a selection of treats by local favorites!
