We recently introduced you to Alex Matamoros, DCOTA's director of design services and design professionals. Now that we have gotten to know him, he's telling us about Art Wynwood, Miami's recent International Contemporary Art Fair.
By Alex Matamoros
Recently, I had the wonderful chance to attend the Art Wynwood International Contemporary Art Fair in Miami. My friend Martha Enzler, a ceramic artist, was visiting from Minnesota, and upon learning about the art fair, she decided to come for a visit and join me in attending. I couldn't be gladder that we did!
Art Wynwood is a new fair whose timing could not be better. The international fair had one of the highest tourist and snowbird weekends of the year, along with the Miami International Boat show and the Coconut Grove’s Art Festival to help grab more interest.
There were 50 galleries participating, with art by 500 artists from 13 countries, including Argentina, Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Spain, the Netherlands, Venezuela, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The fair featured photography, sculpture, art videos, conceptual art, urban street art, and more.
Miami has evolved culturally in the past few years. Besides Art Basel, the largest art show in the region, Florida has all types of design shows, installations, museums, gallery walks, and more throughout the year. I’m so excited about the direction the art scene is heading today!
Stay tuned tomorrow to hear the many favorites Alex picked throughout Art Wynwood to share.
