Round 2 of my Birthday Weekend Friday was this Gallery / Tavern for a nightcap and some salsa. My…read moregroup and I were originally going to another space, but their friendly welcome won us over! Located inside an art gallery, this spot has a fun afterhours speakeasy vibe complete with tapas and a generous cocktail menu. Since we'd just eaten, we didn't enjoy food but definitely savored their beverages. My coconut mojito - my usual poison - was on point with the mix of the elixir, the coconut flakes and overall composition. For the special occasion. the owner / manager even visited our table and offered us complimentary aguardiente shots. What made the night even better? The classic salsa and merengue playing, and salsa dancing with friends until these 40-somethings were ready to call it a night. It's a very nice little spot; definitely plan on stopping by again!

The Art of Banksy is the best rotating art gallery I've been to recently in Miami. I thought it was…read moremore robust than the Van Gough exhibit, a historic artist I love, and eons better than Superblue, which wasn't for me. I really enjoyed the artist history and story, but I dropped a star (was debating two) because after reading more about it after the fact, I'm pretty sure this is not condoned or associated at all by the artist (which would go against some of his or her messaging). Still, I personally did like the exhibit and learned a lot. I just prefer clearer communication from the exhibit about what it is and is not and ideally support from/to the artist. Banksy is a living artist legend of our time. Known for their elusiveness, street art and rebellious nature - this may not instantly appeal to everyone, but it did for me (but hey that's art right?). I casually followed some of his or her headlines over the years and always liked the underlying messages and rebellious nature of this artists work. I don't consider myself a Banksy or art expert by any means; however, after visiting this exhibit I felt a lot more attune to the artist and his or her passionate messages, struggles, frustrations, etc. I can't say this often: some of these visuals provoked a really emotional feeling out of me. There's a lot of irony in the pieces. Raw truths. A lot to self reflect on, some encouragement of hope - maybe. I felt this exhibit didn't sell out to just cater towards an Instagram crowd (but did perhaps rip the artist off). In true Banksy irony, even if it did go viral like some of the less stellar exhibits I've been to: great - not for the ticket sales (which I'm unclear associated with the artist), for the thought provoking meanings in and behind the work challenging society to do better. Raise the bar. This exhibit is a good introduction to Banksy's work, however, after some post visit research I'm unclear if its officially condoned by the artist. If true, that's the biggest negative and may steer some people away. Official Banksy FAQ: https://pestcontroloffice.com/faq.asp

There is some limited parking on the street of the exhibit, but valet for $20 and $30. The $30 price is to have your car parked on site. For $20 the car goes somewhere else and you need to wait to get your car. The venue is very open and breezy which is good during CoVid. The exhibit is sectioned off into topics and are spaced out well to not feel crowded. Our tickets were for 11am, we arrive a little early and were admitted. Closer to noon the exhibit became more active. I'd say allow 1:45 minutes to view the exhibit without rushing. The QR codes enable you to get deeper into each piece's explanation. Clearly Banksy has a message about political and current events. He is an insightful artist and this exhibition is thoughtful and worthwhile viewing.

The museum is spacious and laid out entirely on one level, with dedicated rooms devoted to major artists. My friend and I loved wandering through the spaces for Yayoi Kusama, Keith Haring, and Basquiat. We had been wanting to see the Yoshitomo Nara collection for a while, and it did not disappoint. It was beautifully and thoughtfully curated, easily a highlight of the visit. A fun surprise was the interactive scavenger hunt through the galleries, which ends with a sticker prize. Such a cute touch, and a nice way to engage more with the art, especially if you're going with a friend or family. One small downside is that the museum shop is pretty small and on the pricier side, though the merchandise quality is solid if you want a nice keepsake. Overall a fantastic morning out. Easy to recommend, especially for anyone into contemporary art or looking for a low-key, uncrowded weekday activity.

In addition to selling art they also facilitate museum exhibitions, special projects, and commissions. One of my favorite artists they represent is Spanish artist Manolo Valdés. I love Mariposas, his head sculptures with butterflies surrounding it. They have a really large installation in Sunny Isles. I also love his Spanish ladies sculptures. There was one on display in downtown Doral and they have the same purple quartz figure in front of the gallery. I was looking forward to checking out all of the art in the gallery but I got a frosty reception from the woman working there who told me not to go upstairs but couldn't be bothered to look up from her phone. I guess you have to look like you can afford it to be welcomed here.
