THE ORGANIZATION NOW HAS OVER 450 VOLUNTEERS AND HOLDS THE ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF ARTS AND IS NOW A JURIED SHOW WITH OVER 200 PARTICIPATING ARTISTS IN 10 DIFFERENT MEDIUMS ON THE GROUNDS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI. IT IS RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE LEADING ART SHOWS IN THE COUNTRY AND ATTRACTS ACCLAIMED ARTISTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. IN 2002 BEAUX ARTS ADDED THE STUDENT ARTIST SHOWCASE (SAS) TO THE FESTIVAL OF ART EVENT WEEKEND.
