When people talk about the City of Miami, it is typically
associated with partying and shopping. In recent years, Miami has been changing
and more importantly it has been developing and expanding the area of the Arts.
Wynwood, located in the Miami Design District, hosts an art
event and party known as The Wynwood Art Walk the second Saturday of every
month. This event has become especially important
within artists because it brings artists from all over world together to expose
their pieces, paintings, drawings, sculptures and musical shows. The event
consists of various art galleries that are opened to the public; this allows
artists the opportunity to sell their work, as well as, build a networking
custom.
“Every month I have the chance to show my work and put my
name out there;” said Charles Leano, artist, 24. “I’m glad these types of events
are becoming part of the essence of Miami.”
The Wynwood Art Walk is a family oriented event, which
includes over 50 food trucks around a block full of music, drinks, and Art. It
starts at 5 p.m. and lasts until 11 p.m. More than just an exhibition of art, The
Wynwood Art Walk is a party to celebrate the talent of those artists in south
Florida.
“I come every month with my family because it is a
guaranteed good time” said Freddy Piedra, art viewer. “I get to enjoy my city
in a different way.”
Although Miami is not considered an Art-City yet, in the world
of arts it is being recognized and appreciated for its efforts in creating a
place where artists from all over the world can gather together to expose their
best work. The Wynwood Art Walk is just an example of the future in the arts of
this magical city.
