Located in Lincoln Road Mal, Oolite Arts, a non profit was founded in 1984 as ArtCenter/South…read moreFlorida by potter Ellie Schneiderman, who was looking for affordable work spaces for Miami's visual artists. 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.

The Bass is a Contemporary Art Museum in Miami, FL. We came here during one of my prev. birthday…read moretrips. Everytime we come to Miami, there are new places we find as well as favorites to revisit. Finding cool art spaces is so enjoyable. Miami City Ballet School is across the street & Miami Beach Regional Library is in close proximity to The Bass. Once you arrive onto the property, you see Ugo Rondinone's "Miami Mountain", a unique & beautiful public sculpture. It is definitely a treat walking towards the entrance to the museum. When we arrived inside, we were welcomed by lovely Greeters at the Admission Area. The Bass is a quaint, intimate-enough smart space. Highlights included "Selections From the Permanent Collection" & Artist Tavares Strachan's "We Belong Here". Nam June Paik: The Miami Years Exhibit displayed the South Korean Artist's creations via use of mixed media, electronic/ digital objects & images. There was also a Nam June Paik "Action Music" Exhibit. thebass.org @thebasdmoa The Bass is open Wed. - Sun. - Noon - 5pm. General Admission is $15. Youth 7-18, Students & Seniors are $8. Free Admission for Miami Beach Residents, Military Personnel/EBT Cardholders, Children under 6 yrs. of age, etc. Free Admission every 3rd Thursday from 6pm - 9pm.

The museum has two floors, a small selection of exhibits, a gift shop, and a community space. Outside is a large grassy area with plenty of trees and shade that's great for going on a walk.

Located in a cool-looking warehouse space with exposed metal trusses and skylights next to the…read moreBrightline tracks, I enjoyed the Atchugarry Gallery this last Sunday at the start of Miami Art Week. It's located on the northern edge of the Miami Design District; I found out that the owner (Piero) is the son of Uruguayan sculptor Pablo Atchugarry. As far as logistics, there is some street parking adjacent the art space as well as on nearby streets. My favorites on display included "orbs" made of combinations of threads by the artist Emil Lukas, as well as a metal sculpture and cityscapes.

They're situated in the Design District, and the vibe they put out is always top-tier contemporary. You can count on them to feature brilliant Latin American artists, with a strong leaning toward sculpture and conceptual works. Think post-minimalism, where the art is all about form, texture, and the raw materials they use, it really makes you stop and think about what you're looking at. Their pieces often play with heavy contrasts, like polished steel next to rough stone, making the art feel both ancient and completely modern at the same time. Honestly, the biggest highlight wasn't even the stunning art, but the amazing opportunity to meet Piero Atchugarry himself. I was completely stoked to find him at the opening! Being able to chat with him in person, even just for a few minutes, and hear about his vision for the gallery and the visual concept behind the artists he selects was so clarifying. It's one thing to look at a sculpture; it's another to get the backstory directly from the person curating the whole dialogue. That personal insight made all the difference, helping me truly appreciate the dynamic and thoughtful curation of the entire exhibition. It made the art stick in a way that reading a placard never could. If you're serious about contemporary art, especially work that is pushing boundaries in material and form, Piero Atchugarry Gallery is a guaranteed art experience getaway! It was one of the most enriching part of my Art Basel experience.

I would recommend coming with a group as it's more fun that way, especially when you overcome the initial awkwardness of how much everyone hates to be photographed. Plan this as part of a series of activities in Wynwood as parking can be brutal and there are a lot of cool things to do within walking distance

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.
