Miami's burgeoning art scene
gained notoriety in recent years with the arrival of Art
Basel, the annual gathering of who's-who in the
world of art which introduced Miami to countless art aficionados around the globe.
While Miami Beach was
the initial scene of gallery proliferation
in the area's recent art revival, high real estate
values and rampant development in blighted areas
where artists once flourished have forced many galleries over to mainland-Miami
in areas
such as the Design District and most notably, the Wynwood Art
District.
Local government officials
are supportive of Miami's art scene and the city
maintains a very successful Art in Public Places program, while
several large community groups have formed to provide studio space
to up and coming artists. |
