Real-life CARTA Theatre love stories that found their fairy-tale endings


Over the course of four decades, CARTA’s Department of Theatre has told countless stories on its stages. But it’s the real-life love stories that have been lived in the hallways, classrooms and production shops of the Wertheim Performing Arts Center that prove to be some of the most enduring stories told.

Although Theatre has one of the university’s smallest departments on campus, an extraordinary number of its alumni have met their soulmates there. In the last 20 years alone, at least 15 married or engaged couples forged their bonds at FIU Theatre. Read more about their love stories that blossomed during their CARTA undergrad experience. 

CARTA’s Art + Art History students help light up Coral Gables in South Florida’s first art and light exhibition

The city of Coral Gables is turning on the lights, and CARTA’s Department of Art + Art History is helping them do it.

From Feb. 12 through March 15, Illuminate Coral Gables (ICG) – South Florida’s first art and light public art initiative focused on the intentional use of light and technology – will transform public art into magical and mysterious works at night.

See how CARTA students contributed to this city-wide art display.

Hundreds of alumni return to campus – virtually – to connect with students during Panther Alumni Week 2021

Panther Alumni Week (PAW) looked a little different this year. For the first time, the annual PAW took place online, as a result of COVID-19 restrictions. But that didn’t stop scores of alumni – 250, to be exact – from joining FIU classes virtually from as far away as London to share their career advice and life experiences with around 1,000 current students. Check out this year’s unique PAW mentorship experiences.

CARTA’s Theatre students recognized for excellence at regional Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival 

Last week, students from CARTA’s Department of Theatre participated in the regional Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF), where they were recognized for the excellence of their work in a year when it took large amounts of grit and creativity to make theatre happen. Learn more about the multiple awards won and how it is the fourth time in the past five years that an FIU Theatre production has been invited to perform at the festival.

CARTA Grad Student of the Week: Matheus Stancati – Architecture

Our grad student of the week is Matheus Stancati who is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Architecture. He previously was employed for two years at CARTA’s Robotics and Digital Fabrication Lab (RDF), where he worked on numerous design projects. He also participated in a proposal to add furniture and vegetation to the PCA building courtyard. In 2019, his team won the Most Innovative Award at the Festival of the Trees fundraiser. Additionally, he received the AIA Miami Student of the Year Award representing FIU in 2020.

A fun fact about Stancati is that he started an architecture content-related Tik-Tok account last August and has now reached over 120K followers from all over the world.

This week’s Ratcliffe Fellow: Maisha Richardson – Interior Architecture

This week’s Ratcliffe Fellow is Maisha Richardson, a graduate student from CARTA’s Interior Architecture program and a member of CARTA’s Ratcliffe Art + Design Incubator cohort.

MAI Concepts, an interior design startup based in Miami, is prototyping a mobile wellness center for women, youth and children experiencing homelessness. The center will blend physical and emotional support to address quality of life, self-sufficiency, safety and health by taking a modular approach with a range of solutions based on on-the-ground research with potential patrons. In addition to general health and gynecological services, these include spa treatments, showers, laundry and mental rehabilitation sessions.
