Week Dec 5-10
The best time to visit Miami is during Miami Art Week and no one covers Art Week like CultureOwl. So many events, parties, and of course world-class art everywhere. We've made it easy to navigate Art Week like a pro with an interactive map of fairs and events. See you at the fairs (and the parties of course!). Enjoy!
“Less About Us” Photography Expo
For the second year in a row, Esmé Miami Beach Hotel will be hosting a photography expo featuring top local artists sharing different perspectives on the Magic City.
Featured photographers include @devography and @unkleclarence, who are part of the That’s Beside the Point collective, which recently shot Drake and NIKE’s NOCTA collection, and trendy Vogue collaborator @lainezim.
For one night only, Esmé’s Mediterranean sundeck will transform into a vibey, living room-style lounge with music, art and their famous sangria flowing.
Gimme Shelter Preview & Opening Party
Exhibition/Public: Dec 5 - Jan 22
The inaugural exhibition for the visual arts program at the Historic Hampton House Museum of Culture & Art — the only Green Book Hotel museum that exists today — opens this December, coinciding with Miami Art Week.
Gimme Shelter features over 25 artists including Derrick Adams, Nick Cave, Charles Gaines, Howardena Pindell, Carrie Mae Weems, and more, and highlights the idea of shelter and safety as integral to cultural production and collective creation. Co-curated by Beth Rudin DeWoody, Zoe Lukov, Maynard Monrow, and Laura Dvorkin, the selected works reflect on America’s history and the importance of building and celebrating sites of refuge, renewal, and reflection for Black Americans, people of color, and migrants today.
Andrés Reisinger “Take Over Miami”
Renowned digital artist and designer Andrés Reisinger presents “Take Over Miami,” a spectacular public art installation showcased at the Miami Design District. Radiating the city with a pink-hued creative energy, Reisinger transcends the boundaries between the digital and the physical, and debuts a physical version of his viral digital series of ‘Take Overs’. Reisinger presents the world's first public art installation seamlessly transitioned from the digital canvas to the physical world. The creative talent reinterprets the architecture of major capitals around the globe with pink drapes, integrating hyper realistic elements into existing buildings. For the first time ever, in ‘Take Over Miami’ Reisinger takes a step forth and brings to physical life the digital series, inviting art enthusiasts to join the transformation of a physical space into a surreal dreamscape of boundless creativity.

Art of Hip Hop
Alan Ket & Allison Freidin, Founders of The Museum of Graffiti, proudly present Art of Hip Hop, an immersive exhibition, opening in Wynwood, spotlighting the visual unsung heroes of Hip Hop culture, including photographers, album cover artists, graffiti visionaries, and logo designers. Following successful showings at SXSW and UrbanBreak in Seoul, this showcase lands in Miami on December 5, 2023, offering a unique exploration of Hip Hop's history and Miami's own cultural contributions to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop. The inaugural exhibition, entitled From the Bronx to the Beach, will showcase rare vintage ephemera from Hip Hop’s first NYC DJ, Kool Herc, to Miami’s own pioneer Uncle Luke. Visitors can expect to see the works of famed Hip Hop photographers Janette Beckman, Mike Miller, Henry Chalfant, Matt Doyle, Lisa Leone, Joe Conzo, and Daniel Hastings, alongside Hip Hop album covers designed by Cey Adams, Eric Haze, Slick, Kaws, and more. The exhibition will also shine a special spotlight on Miami’s own Hip Hop history, capturing it through the lenses of local historian and photographer Derick G and photographer Esdras T. Thelusma. The exhibition will be open to the public daily 11am – 6pm beginning December 5, 2023. For more information, please visit www.artofhiphop.com and @artofhiphop50.

Lost At Sea with Gustavo Oviedo
Alicia Hobbs
Los Angeles based contemporary artist Alicia Hobbs, who once traded her medical school aspirations for a paintbrush and palette, has propelled herself to success in the art world. Her distinctive paintings are often renditions of iconic Masters’ portraits, such as Girl With a Pearl Earring, but with a twist- they are dressed in vintage designer clothing pieces that Alicia picks out herself. Notable figures like Bruno Bischofberger, introducer of Warhol and Basquiat, have applauded her work, and her pieces are collected internationally, including celebrity collectors such as Paris Hilton.
Atiba Jefferson Photography Exhibition
With a career spanning over 25 years, Atiba Jefferson is one of the most significant photographers of our time. His unique style and generation-bridging presence in the world of sport, and specifically skateboarding, has made him not only a witness to moments in skate history but an active participant in the making, sharing, and advancement of the culture. Organized by Architecture, the creative studio founded by the late Virgil Abloh, this exhibition is the most comprehensive survey of Jefferson’s skate photography to date —from his most iconic images of legendary athletes to archival gems. Combined with insightful panel discussions with Atiba and some of his most frequent subjects and collaborators, this retrospective positions Atiba as both a documentarian and an artist whose beautifully composed images and singular style resonate with the skate community and the uninitiated.

Mociun and Helle Mardahl will be displaying the whimsical, glass pieces—created as a part of their limited collection—in Esmé’s stylish Casa Matanza building.
Howard University x MOCA Panel Discussion

Boseman College of Fine Arts.
Building Basel: LEGO® Lounge
The LEGO Group is bringing its signature adult experience—LEGO® Center for Creative Flow (CFCF) —to Miami at W South Beach, known for serving as center stage for all things Art Basel.

The lounge invites VIP attendees to participate in a custom-building session throughout the weekend while also enjoying stunning art pieces customized by a LEGO artist. Serving as a creative space that offers adults a temporary respite from daily responsibilities, guests can tap into their inner creative flow state.
