I remember the marketplace, but this new addition is worth the visit. There is so much history that must be preserved and taught. I learned so much. I remembered learning about the different Haitian flags, but seeing them brought history to life for me. They have art displays and exhibits. They have a learning center there too, which is really cool. They have after-school and summer school programs. If you can donate to them. This is a wonderful place for the community and culture, so let's keep supporting. This place is worth visiting

The historical building still looks a little jaded. I could only see it from the outside as it was shut, whether the reason was covid or a Sunday I am not sure. Anyway - here is some information I found regarding Haitian history in Miami - fascinating reading. https://www.eater.com/a/mofad-city-guides/miami-haitian-history ------------------------ And here is some information I found regarding the center - "The mission of the City of Miami's Little Haiti Cultural Complex is to present and preserve Afro-Caribbean cultures' inspire the next generation of leaders and leverage arts and culture as tools for transformation and community building." The Little Haiti Cultural Complex provides a large gallery space for local and non-local artists to exhibit, including space for opening receptions and social gatherings. Its Caribbean Marketplace offers authentic Haitian art and crafts for sale, and holds special events in its large 9,000 sq. ft. space. The Caribbean Marketplace is also an official visitor's center for the Greater Miami's Convention and Visitor's Bureau. https://littlehaiticulturalcenter.com/ Little Haiti Cultural Complex 212-260 NE 59th Terrace Miami, FL 33137

I have always been a fan of hi-tech design and modern style. Todays entry into Pan American Art…read moreProjects building space was no different. Immediately I was busy admiring the exposed duct work, metal beams, polished concrete floor and finished look but raw nonetheless. The gallery was recommended to me by a couple people I met at Panther that told me it was a really happening place, but it was as quiet as a library and void of many guests. Surprising since I really enjoyed the art presented on this 2nd Saturday visit. My personal favorite today was a collage that used very small, black & white photographs laid onto large, back wall. Viewing up close, you can make out all the pictures but back up a bit and all the prints start to create a larger mess; back up even more and the prints are laid in such a way that it seems to create a mural of an eye. Other pieces presented were such an array of different medians and styles; something for everyone. Although it felt somewhat like a library (shhh), had no music or ambient noises and furnished no wine or water... I really liked the classy feel and variety of art.

It's easy to find - with the neon "HERE" sign at the entrance, and close to the delicious noms of Joey's. But what a gallery makes are it's exhibits. Seemingly emphasizing on photography, last night's was no exception with installations (pictures? sculptures? paintings?) made of cut-up pieces of both negatives and retro black & white pictures. Place an old lens in the center, and you have an eye symbolic of cameras. Or would it be a camera symbolic of eyes? All in all, another must-see in Wynwood during Second Saturday!

New to this "art space" concept, I was interested in how it was setup. Ron, the owner, invited us…read morein to share his idea. As I ventured into this space I can see art installations along the white wall backdrop. Tall ceilings made this space more spacious. Along the hallway, there were more art displays next to doors of artists. The artists get a room to create as well as wall space to display. The style of each artist was unique, however, complemented the shared white backdrop of this "art space." Great concept! Can't wait for their next event to showcase these talents.

Another piece is made of cookies. You can truly never go hungry here. Bear in mind, in order to access this museum room, one must enter a residential-looking building, climb a short ladder of stairs, and make his way into the room, where one will be greeted by a worker, who will enlighten you with upcoming exhibitions or events in the area. Needless to say, my experience here has been rather short, though insightful.

It is one of a handful of homes in South Florida on the register of historic places. The Villa Paula has miraculously survived the trauma of the devastating hurricane of 1926 and attempts to tear it down.  Now Lovingly restored, it is a place for discovering art treasures -- ranging from Renoir and Picasso to Wilfredo Lam and Miami's homegrown genius, the late Pervis Young. The original bucolic environment of the villa grounds is preserved in the garden with its cascades of bougainvillea and its graceful pergola, perfect for enjoying food, wine, and music. This villa is now up for sale.

What a cool building. This 1926 mansion in a neoclassical design used to be the Cuban Consulate. It…read morewas actually a Cuban building on American soil. Some people believe it is haunted by the ghost of Paula who was the wife of Cuban Consul Domingo Millord and for whom the house was named. Supposedly she died in 1932 after having one leg amputated. There are stories all over the internet claiming that this is the most haunted house in Miami. If you love the idea of owning a haunted house then you are in luck because Villa Paula is for sale for $4.5 million dollars. If you saw the neighborhood in Little Haiti you might be a little skeptical as to the price tag of this property. The house last sold in 2016 for a mere $500,000. It was used as an art gallery managed by Martin Siskind. The house is jointly owned by Martin and his brother Richard. Martin wanted to sell but Richard didn't. The dispute between the brothers has finally been settled and the mansion along with four other properties is now on the market. They are justifying the large price by saying that this is an up and coming neighborhood like Wynwood. The house is a designated historic site so it cannot be changed. It will be interesting to see what is eventually done with it. I am hoping for a museum or something in that vein that honors the history of this property.
