Today kicks off Art Basel "the" art event of the season, here in the "Magic City". I'm floating in and out of galleries soaking it all in. Lots and lots of color keeps jumping out @ me...(im sure it will make its way into my new summer shirt collection) and abstractions, as well as, dark moody pieces of art. I stumbled upon this "Metal Sculpture Garden" on NW 2nd ave, that blew me away. The energy and layout of this area, Wynwood, reminds me of Soho NY, in the late 70's early 80's, when it was really growing into its own. Most of the galleries and art collections are in Wynwood and the Design District (+ great antique shops, vintage shops and funky little boutique). Both neighborhoods are next to each other, so you can walk to get around. The *Wynwood Walls (murals painted by artist in/from the Wynwood Art District)...are da bomb,( my camera was on the stupid mode today, soooo i will post some pics tommorrow). Museums are spread out between Downtown, Miami Beach, Wynwood, North Miami and Hollywood. Art Fairs are the name of the game, look-out for them because you can run into one without knowing it,(if it looks like a big block party...yea u want to be there). Oh well got to go...Art party, party, party!
