When we arrived around 4 PM, the parking garage was full and we were told we would have 10 minutes to find parking. We got really lucky and were able to secure a spot. Parking was $18, which is pretty normal for downtown Miami, and it was convenient being able to park on-site. I would not consider myself a big "art" person, but I really enjoyed some of the exhibits, as well as the fun Chromosaturation room. Afterwards, we were able to check out the Resilient Lady ship as she was leaving port of miami, which was nice and relaxing. Overall, I enjoyed the visit and would definitely recommend checking it out, especially on one of the free admission days.

It was an overall great experience. I think they're open late on weekends, so if you have a moment to stop by and see the art it's well worth it. There are also other art galleries near by, so you can make a night of it and end with dinner at a nearby restaurant.

I have a confession to make...I lied...about being an art fan…read more There's no way I can consider myself a connoisseur of the Miami Art Scene and not have stepped foot inside Dorsch Gallery until tonight! I stopped in tonight for the Bubble Art exhibit I heard on the talk thread, and went beyond the main entry hall. The raw concrete floor, the exposed masonry block work, the nooks, the crannies, the turns just beg for artistic creation. The exhibits tonight ranged from a cot made out of bank deposit bags - perfectly symbolic of the recession - to fluorescent colorful "stacks" and even a Great Pair of Legs on the floor. The coup d'grace is the outside patio where an local band was playing. It is an architectural hodgepodge of a patio slab, grass, and pavers. The patio roof itself is another marvel with two different types of wood framing. Of course, there was the requisite comp bar (which unfortunately I passed on tonight) and also a little picnic table outside. The acoustics weren't that great, but we're not a hoity toity concert hall but at a cool end-of-summer backyard party!

I did enjoy the performance art from the opera singers, but I just didn't get the art. Hmph. The layout was acceptable. I honestly wouldn't have even noticed that it was a gallery because from the outside it looked like a garage. I barely recognized it as I walked past later in the evening after they were closed. Bottom Line: Give it a shot and see if you like the art, but I wasn't impressed.

She want to "help artists help themselves." According to their website "Oolite Arts seeks to be the bedrock of the visual arts in Miami. Formed over time, it is composed of residents, alumnae, curators and visitors, coming together to build a community around contemporary art - a fundamental part of our arts ecosystem." Today Oolite Arts provides artists with the free studio space, the chance to exhibit their work, and support. The building contains artists' studios, small exhibitions spaces, and the group's offices. You can take classes or attend events in the building. Oolite also operates out of a new location at 75 NW 72nd St where they will offer more than 200 art classes and launch a visual art program for teens. Oolite Arts recently sold one its two Lincoln Road buildings and there are plans to build and open a new building in Little River later in 2023. Little River is becoming an alternative location for artists priced out of nearby Wynwood. The new building will have two dozen studios for the group's residency program where artists can get free space for two years, an exhibition space, a theater for films and lectures or presentations, a studio, and offices. Any organization that supports and facilitates the arts is a worthwhile one to support. They help artists who might otherwise not be able to afford studio space to have a place to work and exhibit. It looks like they have some amazing plans in the works to help even more artists in the future. This is a fantastic organization. Stop by for inspiration and culture.

Lo que alguna vez fue un barrio industrial económicamente deprimido ahora alberga casas de diseño, galerías, y ateliers. Desde 1999, La Colección Margulies @ The Warehouse se erige como una joya multifacética en el Distrito de Artes de Wynwood. Libre de las ataduras del lucro o del valor fetichizado, esta organización sin fines de lucro dedica su tiempo y recursos a cultivar iniciativas filantrópicas junto a su colección de clase mundial. Al recorrer salas que exhiben obras del pionero del pop art George Segal o del escultor antielitista Mario Merz, notarás el entusiasmo del personal, muchos de los cuales provienen de Lotus House, una organización comprometida con mejorar la vida de mujeres, jóvenes y niños en situación de calle. Para una colección que abarca 45,000 pies cuadrados y que los especuladores estiman en casi mil millones de dólares, el verdadero valor de la Colección Margulies reside en su impacto sobre las vidas humanas. Visítala durante la Miami Art Week, y el 100% de tu admisión beneficiará a organizaciones locales como Lotus House. La Colección Margulies demuestra que la mayor obra maestra del arte no está en la pared, sino en la generosidad que transforma comunidades.

I love the unassuming rawness of this complex. A number of Anselm Kiefer's large-scale works overwhelm entire spaces: this place was made for them. It's difficult to pick a favorite here but the most unusual is Ernesto Neto's 'É o Bicho,' a 2001 assembly of lycra tulle, polyamide tubes, hooks, tumeric, black pepper and cloves. Looking like a series of large-scale udders hanging from the ceiling, the aroma of the two seasonings inserted into the pendulum-like protuberances is a sensory delight.

Most of the pieces for sale are from local Florida artists. They are procured by one of the owners, Alicia, that we got to speak to. She says she just looks around for stuff she likes. She also makes artwork herself out of things she acquires in her other job as a civil engineer. Very handy and accommodating. They do all sorts of events so make sure to get signed up on their mailing list for the deets. They air short films, host Art Walks and tastings to name a few things. Great place to see art in all it's forms.
