CLICK HERE FOR THE WYNWOOD STREET GUIDE
Scroll to the end of the blog for Art Week street closures in Wynwood.
Miami Art Week, the always growing, diverse moniker that includes the Art Basel anchor fair and a dizzying array of choices, runs from December 5 to December 10 this year. And Wynwood, Miami’s authentic “cultural capital,” is a neighborhood that has art for days (as well as nights).
A mainstay of the Week from its inception, it is also so much more. The confluence of high art and street art, fine design and funky local stores, haute cuisine and hand-held tasty morsels, and entertainment from drag shows to great music, makes Wynwood a must-stop on everyone’s list.
Locals want to return, and visitors want to try Wynwood out, as the neighborhood throbs nearly round the clock during Miami Art Week. Wynwood’s main artery, NW Second Avenue, dubbed by Time Out and others as one of America’s most famous and most popular, streets, is the beating heart of the District, but great gems can be found throughout its more than 50 square blocks. During this internationally renowned week, thousands of art-world professionals, collectors, and investors flock to South Florida in search of art trends and a new generation of emerging art stars.
This multifaceted spectacle offers art fairs, events, and programming from local leading art institutions and galleries, bringing together artists, buyers and trendsetters from around the globe. Wynwood-specific Art Week highlights for 2023 include:
– Satellite fairs hosted at Mana Wynwood, including Spectrum and Red Dot.
– Goldman Global Arts Gallery featuring many artists annually commissioned to create new works on the Wynwood Walls and opening during Miami Art Week under the “Power of Purpose” programming series, including a reclaimed subway car.
– The highly regarded Gary Nader Art Centre featuring a new exhibition that is a homage to Botero, and other artists.
– The Museum of Graffiti will be debuting its new “Art of Hip Hop” space, as well as showcasing top global and local graffiti artists, including trailblazing LA-based artist, Mear One’s solo exhibition, “Metaphysical Surrealism,” and the Mi Campo Artists’ Lounge on the Museum’s patio.
– The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse with multiple exhibitions including Motherwell, Segal, Stella; Mimmo Paladino: Painting and Sculpture; and more.
– Wynwood Marketplace hosting HIVE, a Culinary & Cocktail Village, produced by Swarm.
– Arlo Wynwood presents “No One,” an exhibition by Italian artist Giorgio Tentolini, and will be unveiling “Want To Be Reminded”, a mural by L.A.-based artist ThankYouX on their rooftop. Check out their Basil Brunch on December 3rd, where the outdoor lounge will be transformed into a live art exhibition with vibrant green basil plants.
– Dante’s HiFi, Miami’s first vinyl listening bar, will have performances by Benji B, Koco from Japan, Soul & the Horn, Moody Man, Musical Director Rich Medina, and many more.
– Xavier Cortada Foundation presents “The Underwater,” an immersive public art campaign featuring site-specific yard signs that creatively reveal Miami’s vulnerability to rising seas.
Other notable Wynwood galleries and arts centers include the Paradox Museum, Art Fusion Galleries, Aliona Ortega Fine Art, Strata Wynwood Art Gallery, The Wolberg Studio, and the Lina Cerrone Gallery (opening on November 30th).
While taking in the art and special cultural events that Wynwood has to offer for Miami Art Week, one can’t miss eating at popular restaurants such as Doya, MaryGold’s, 1800 Lucky, Miss Crispy Rice or Coyo Taco. Unique and boutique local retail highlights include Frangipani, Little Words Project and Glottman Showroom. And if looking for some of Wynwood’s famous nightlife, R House, Gramps and Cerveceria La Tropical are great places to check out.
